question-word subjects Who phoned? What happened?

When who and what are subjects, we make questions without do/does/did. Compare:

'WhoSUBJ phoned?' 'Mike50^ phoned.' (NOT 'Who did phone?-')
'WhoOBJ did you see?' 7 saw MikeOBJ!
'WhatSUBJ happened?' 'SomethingSUBJ terrible happened.' (NOT WVhaHtid-happen?-')
'WhatOBJ did he say?' 'He said somethingOBJ terrible.'
The same thing happens when subjects begin with which, what, or how much/many.
