Answer 1

You already have the answer to the "who" question and that is probably what is confusing you. (If my answer has a plural subject/verb then my question must need it too.) This is the basis for your confusion. They must be thought of as two different items. One is a question and one is a statement.

If you use the pronoun "who" in a question, you must have a single subject verb attached to it. Single subject (who) with single verb (is). In questions, who is always a single subject and must take a single verb.(Note: The pronoun "who" can be plural if used as part of of relative clause.)

Who is going to the movies?
I am going. She is going. We are going. They are going.

Who likes candy?
I like candy. She likes candy. We like candy.

I hope that helps a bit. :)

Answer 2

This is pretty easy, even for an ESL student. Maybe you should pay more attention in class.

They work in a bank.
Who works in a bank?

The teachers are explaining the lessons.
Who is explaining the lessons?

Remember, when you change to a question, you need to change to singular third person. (add the s)

Answer 3

Yes, the word "who" is sort of an "indefinite" pronoun. This means you treat it like a single entity, therefore you use the singular 3rd person form of "to be" with it. When you answer the question, you use whatever form of the verb agrees with the subject:

Who's at the door? My friends are at the door.

Who's making dinner tonight? My roommate is making dinner tonight.
(I decided to use 's because it's more natural for speech than for writing.)

Answer 4

I think you have to immediately follow 'are' with a plural noun.

Ex:

Who are the people who work in a bank?
Who are the families coming to the party?
Who are the bands playing at the festival?
