¿Murió álguien?
Did someone die?
¡Álguien rompió mi lámpara!
Someone broke my lamp!
I think it's weird that those were the first two sentences that came to my mind.
Anyways, for the first one, I used the 3rd person singular preterite of 'Morir' and put 'álguien' after the verb because it was a question. The second, Álguien is the subject so it's in front of the preterite conjugate of 'romper'.

You're right... I have literally no idea why I wrote that. :| - RommpinCrab, Dec 8, 2010
The u's role is confusing. It doesn't count. It is only there to maintain the sound of the g. The ie is still a diphthong and the stress is on the "a" naturally. - 0074b507, Dec 8, 2010
Fallecer common in 1st sentence and passive (se) voice in 2nd . (The lamp was broken. That way we don't have to find "alguien" to blame... - 0074b507, Dec 8, 2010
