Understanding WH-Words
WH-questions start with a 'WH' word to ask about different types of information. 'What' asks about things or actions, 'Where' asks about places, and 'When' asks about time. 'Who' asks about people, 'Why' asks for reasons, and 'How' asks about the way something is done or its condition.
- WH-words ask for specific information.
- Each WH-word has a different purpose (e.g., What for things, Where for places).
Forming WH-Questions
For most WH-questions, the structure is: WH-word + do/does + subject + base form of the verb. We use 'do' for I, you, we, and they. For he, she, and it, we use 'does'.
- Structure: WH-word + do/does + subject + verb.
- 'Do' is used for I, you, we, they; 'does' for he, she, it.
Important Exceptions
There are some important exceptions. For questions with 'to be' (am, is, are), the structure is WH-word + am/is/are + subject. Also, when 'who' or 'what' is the subject of the sentence, we don't use 'do' or 'does'. Instead, we use Who/What + verb (with -s for he/she/it).
- Questions with 'to be': WH-word + am/is/are + subject.
- When 'who' or 'what' is the subject, do not use 'do' or 'does'.
Zanimivosti
- The word 'how' is also used in WH-questions.
- 'How old' is a special 'how' question.
