Hi!
|
|
Can you help me please?
What do you think of the following two sentences?
Who makes your breakfast?
Who make your breakfast?
I think both are correct. |

In general, only one person is in charge of making breakfast I would use the 3rd person singular form:
Who makes your breakfast?
make takes �s � because Who is the subject and, then, it is impossible to use an auxiliary after Who So the verb itself takes �s � |

It should be "Who makes your breakfast? " |

Only MAKES, definitely, because who is always considered 3rd person singular in asking for subject.
Who works here?
Who is playing the piano?
Who has been jumping?
etc. |

I agree with you. Both are acceptable. If only one person is responsible for making breakfast so,for sure it will be "Who makes breakfast ? " as it refers to a singular 3rd person but what if breakfast is made in the kitchen of a hotel for example. so,it is right also to say who make it? or who made it?which will be more approperiate. as it is already made and we are not sure who made it and many people might have helped in making it. I wish my answer was sufficient. Bye. Tarek |

As Anita already explained so well, "who makes" is the only acceptable answer. |
