Good Morning All :-D
Please could you help me. Why when using the past simple and who is it not always necessary to use an Auxiliary verb ? eg-
Who paid the bill ?
Who took it ?
Who made it ?
but why also can you say-
Who had it ?
Who have you given it to ?
I don't know how to explain this exception to my students. Is there a rule ? It is because it is interrogative ?
I would be gratefully for any advice you could give me.
Many Thanks
Samantha
