    WH Questions

    WH questions are very common in English. The lesson below


    shows you how to use them correctly. You can find the exercises
    at the bottom of the page.

    Let’s get started with the lesson. 

    WH questions ask for information. Here are the six questions and
    their answers:

    Question Answer Example

    What Thing What is your name?

    When Time When is the party?

    Who Person Who is your brother?

    Where Place Where is the bank?

    Why Reason Why do you like pizza?

    How Directions How do you spell your name?


     

    WH Questions Structure
    WH questions in the simple present use “do” or “be”. Take a look
    at the structure for each of these verbs.

    Do

    WH   +   DO/DOES   +   SUBJECT    +   VERB

    Take a look at some examples:

     Where do you work?


     When does she wake up?
     Who is your brother?
    Be

    WH     +     BE       +       SUBJECT

    Here are the examples:

     Where are you from?


     Who is that man?
     When is your class?

    Open and Closed Questions


    In English you will find two main types of questions: open and
    closed. Closed questions have simpe answers with few options.
    Open questions have many options.

    WH Questions are similar to  YES/NO questions, but they


    have WH words at the start. Let’s look at an example of a yes/no
    question:

     Are you from Canada?

    Now, take a look at similar question, but with a WH word:

     Where are you from?

    The first question had an answer of yes or no (Yes, I am from


    Canada). The second question could have many different answers
    (Japan, Brazil, Poland, etc.). This is the difference. One is open
    and the other is closed.

    Here are some example questions and answers:

     Where are you from?


     I am from India.
     What is your name?
     My name is Jacob.

     When do you wake up?


     I wake up at 7:30 am.

     Why are you angry?


     I am angry because I did not pass my exam.

    With the explanation and examples, you can begin using who,
    what, where, when, why, and how questions. You will need them
    very often to communicate in English.
