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!

Qu’est ce qui v. Qu’est-ce que
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)
