Subject questions

When we ask about the subject of the sentence we do not use inversion or add extra auxiliary verbs. We only replace the subject with `Who' or `What', e.g.:

Someone (subject) has stolen our bicycle. Who has stolen our bicycle?

Something (subject) broke inside the engine. What broke inside the engine?
