Guidelines
In the interrogative form, an auxiliary is normally required: Who / What / Which did you see? So the forms:
Who you saw? What you saw? Which you saw?are not correct. However there are cases when the auxiliary is not required.
Use who / which / what + auxiliary (e.g. Who do / did) when who, which, and what are the object of the verb. In the question Who do you love? the pronoun you is the subject, and who is the object.
Use who / which / what + main verb (e.g. Who says .. Which costs ...) when who, which, and what are the subject of the verb. In the question Who loves you? the pronoun you is the object, and who is the subject.
