EXPLANATION:
When we don’t know the subject (who or what) did the action, we ask about it and then, we don’t need to use the auxiliary verb. Auxiliary verbs are used in negative and in questions to invert the order of the sentence. Eg.:
-I don’t write letters.
-Do you write letters? / Do you usually write letters?
-Who did you write to?
-Who wrote you (a letter)? NO AUXILIARY VERB because we don’t know the subject.

I hope now you understand better. Good luck!
