Qu’est ce qui v. Qu’est-ce que

I am having great difficulty with this despite various peoples attempt to explain. Could someone give a few more examples in English, just breaking the sentence down and showing how you understand which is the subject and which is the object. Thank you!

This question relates to:French lesson "Qu'est-ce qui + [conjugated verb] = What [does]... (French Questions)"

If you're enquiring about the subject, you use qu'est-ce qui. If you're asking about the object of a sentence, use qu'est-ce que.

Qu'est-ce que tu as fait? -- What did you do? (Subject is tu, object is que)
Qu'est-ce qui se passe? -- What's going on? (Subject is qui)
