Might be the same in meaning but the English question has the subject "who" so I'd expect 谁 to be the subject in the Chinese as well

My biggest difficulty with this language is word order. Sometimes I have all of the needed characters but they are in the wrong order.

I think the word order is exactly the same for "shei" as for when you would give a statement. So "the person besides you is Bob" becomes "the person besides you is who?"

I havent been studying chinese for too long, but for me I think a good formula to use when describing something like this is to say subj 1 + 在 + subj 2 + 的 + location. Hope this helps.
