who is your sister sees ?
who your sister sees ?

who are you looking for ?
who you are looking for ?

What I know is, All WH questions* require a finite auxiliary verb before the subject,but in this sentence "who your sister likes" ,there is no auxiliary verb.is this sentence in currect format or not.

    Who/Whom does your sister see? And the question with the terminal is is okay! But it makes more a sentence than question. – Maulik V Sep 15 '14 at 11:53

  • The sentence is okay. 2. Don't get allured by the number of Google Results! Also, would you mind putting the question marks in all those sentences? Check Damkerng's links...very useful.

    "who you are looking for" is perfectly OK but is not a direct question. Direct question "Who are you looking for?". Indirect question: "Tell me who you are looking for." (no question mark). – None Sep 15 '14 at 12:03
  • @Laure, "whom you are trying to reach" or "who you are trying to reach",which one is correct. – JN Raju Sep 16 '14 at 08:59
  • Both are nowadays considered as correct in that case. Look at these two questions and answers usage of who vs whom and How can one differentiate between “who” and “whom”? and you can ask another question if these don't satisfy you. – None Sep 16 '14 at 09:06
