WH Questions\n\nWH questions begin with a special question word and ask for specific information — not just \"yes\" or \"no\". In this lesson, you will learn the common WH question words (who, what, where, when, why, which, and how) and how to use them to ask about people, places, things, and actions. Examples: \"What is your name?\" or \"Where do you live?\"\n\n## 2. Common WH Question Words\n\n**Who** – asks about a person\n\n:::example\n\"Who is your teacher?\" → \"My teacher is Ruth.\"\n:::\n\n**What** – asks about a thing or an action\n\n:::example\n\"What is your favorite color?\" → \"My favorite color is blue.\"\n:::\n\n**Where** – asks about a place\n\n:::example\n\"Where do you live?\" → \"I live in London.\"\n:::\n\n**When** – asks about time\n\n:::example\n\"When is your birthday?\" → \"My birthday is in May.\"\n:::\n\n**Why** – asks about reason\n\n:::example\n\"Why are you tired?\" → \"Because I went to bed late.\"\n:::\n\n**Which** – asks to choose from options\n\n:::example\n\"Which shirt do you want?\" → \"I want the red shirt.\"\n:::\n\n:::tip\n**Which** is often followed directly by a noun: \"Which bus?\", \"Which book?\" This helps you ask about a specific choice.\n:::\n\n**How** – asks about the way something is done or someone's condition.\n\n:::example\n\"How are you?\" → \"I am fine.\"\n\n\"How much is this?\" → \"It is five dollars.\"\n\n\"How often do you go to the library?\" → \"I try to go every weekend.\"\n:::\n\n## 3. How to Make WH Questions\n\nWH questions usually follow a clear structure. The pattern changes depending on the verb.\n\n### 3.1 WH questions with do\u002Fdoes\n\nUse this structure for most WH questions. The WH word asks about information, and the subject (the person or thing doing the action) comes after do\u002Fdoes.\n\nThe subject can be a pronoun (I\u002Fyou\u002Fhe\u002Fshe\u002Fit\u002Fwe\u002Fthey) **or a name\u002Fthing** (Tom, my mother, the bus).\n\n#### Special case: 'Who' as the subject\n\nSometimes *who* is the person doing the action in the sentence. In this case, do NOT use do\u002Fdoes — just use *who* + verb directly.\n\n:::tip\nAsk yourself: is *who* doing the action, or is someone else doing it?\n\n* \"Who called you?\" → *Who* is doing the calling. No do\u002Fdoes needed.\n* \"Who do you like?\" → *You* are doing the liking. Use *do*.\n    :::\n\nFor all other WH questions, use do\u002Fdoes as normal:\n\n:::example\n\"Who do you like?\" (You are doing the action — liking.)\n:::\n\n**Structure:** WH word + do\u002Fdoes + subject + main verb + rest of sentence?\n\n:::example\n\"What **do** you eat for breakfast?\"\n\n\"Where **does** she live?\"\n\n\"When **do** they go to school?\"\n:::\n\nRemember these rules:\n\n* Use **does** for **he, she, it**\n* Use **do** for **I, you, we, they**\n* Notice: The main verb is **without -s** after does!\n    * Correct: \"Where does he live?\"\n    * Incorrect: \"Where does he lives?\"\n\n### 3.2 WH questions with be (am\u002Fis\u002Fare)\n\nThe verb **be** works differently.\n\n**Structure:** WH word + be (am\u002Fis\u002Fare) + subject + rest of sentence?\n\n:::example\n\"Who **is** your teacher?\"\n\n\"Where **is** the bus?\"\n\n\"How **are** you?\"\n:::\n\n:::note\nThe subject comes after **be** in WH questions: \"Where **is** the bus?\" (subject = the bus). No do\u002Fdoes is needed with **be**.\n:::\n\nWhen the WH word is the subject (for example, \"Who\" in \"Who is your teacher?\"), the WH word comes first and replaces the subject.\n\n## 4. Answers to WH Questions\n\nWH questions ask for **specific information**, not yes\u002Fno. So the answer gives information (a person\u002Fplace\u002Ftime\u002Fthing).\n\n:::example\n**Q:** \"Where do you live?\"\n\n→ **A:** \"I live in London.\"\n\n**Q:** \"Who is your friend?\"\n\n→ **A:** \"My friend is Ruth.\"\n\n**Q:** \"What do you eat for breakfast?\"\n\n→ **A:** \"I eat bread and eggs.\"\n:::\n\n## 5. Common Mistakes\n\n:::example\nIncorrect: \"Where you live?\" → missing **do**\n\nCorrect: \"Where do you live?\"\n\nIncorrect: \"What she likes?\" → missing **does**\n\nCorrect: \"What does she like?\"\n\nIncorrect: \"Who your teacher?\" → missing **is**\n\nCorrect: \"Who is your teacher?\"\n:::\n\n## 6. Recap\n\n1. With **be**: WH + am\u002Fis\u002Fare + subject + ...? → \"Where **is** the bus?\"\n2. With other verbs: WH + do\u002Fdoes + subject + verb + ...? → \"Where **do** you live?\"\n3. **Special case — WH word is the subject**: WH + verb (no do\u002Fdoes) → \"Who **called** you?\"","en","A1",7,[12],{"id":13,"name":14,"level":9,"language":8,"isCompleted":15,"completionPercentage":16,"totalExercises":17,"completedExercises":16,"vocabularyLists":18},"019aede3-fd1c-746a-8a1e-401bb9b4c495","Wh- Questions",false,0,2,[19],{"id":20,"title":21,"grammarTopic":22,"displayOrder":23,"vocabularyListWords":24,"isPublished":38},"019b9855-eca0-78f5-a116-237780cdb50c","Wh-word Questions","\u002Fapi\u002Fgrammar_topics\u002F019aede3-fd1c-746a-8a1e-401bb9b4c495",4,[25,46,69,85,101,124,144],{"id":26,"vocabularyWord":27,"displayOrder":39},"019b9856-387b-74e4-98bd-2d979998851e",{"id":28,"word":29,"frequency":30,"level":9,"language":8,"audioFilePath":31,"partsOfSpeech":32,"audio":38,"audioUrl":45},"019b850c-a402-7a62-be1e-5bc68dbeae38","what",10,"tts_c334d7d75d795e91_en-US.mp3",[33,40],{"id":34,"partOfSpeech":35,"definition":36,"exampleSentences":37,"isPrimary":38,"meaningOrder":39},"019b850e-0ddb-7d67-85e8-5ba6488e1936","PRONOUN","Used to ask for information about something.","What is your name?\nWhat do you want to eat?",true,1,{"id":41,"partOfSpeech":42,"definition":43,"exampleSentences":44,"isPrimary":15,"meaningOrder":17},"019b850e-0ddb-7e03-85e8-5ba648a390c9","DETERMINER","Used to refer to a specific thing or things.","What book are you reading?\nWhat time does the meeting start?","\u002Fuploads\u002Faudio\u002Ftts_c334d7d75d795e91_en-US.mp3",{"id":47,"vocabularyWord":48,"displayOrder":17},"019b9856-387b-7960-98bd-2d9799c0a576",{"id":49,"word":50,"frequency":30,"level":9,"language":8,"audioFilePath":51,"partsOfSpeech":52,"audio":38,"audioUrl":68},"019b4697-700f-771c-b0bd-b172aef55793","where","tts_11c476ca7e506014_en-US.mp3",[53,58,63],{"id":54,"partOfSpeech":55,"definition":56,"exampleSentences":57,"isPrimary":38,"meaningOrder":39},"019e830b-40e6-7558-ad14-63ec47b4fcab","ADVERB","Used to ask about or refer to a place or location.","Where do you live?\nI don't know where she went.\nWhere is the nearest bus stop?",{"id":59,"partOfSpeech":60,"definition":61,"exampleSentences":62,"isPrimary":15,"meaningOrder":17},"019e830b-40e6-7608-ad14-63ec48736e6f","CONJUNCTION","Used to introduce a clause that refers to a place or situation.","This is the town where I was born.\nPut it back where you found it.\nShe sat down where there was an empty seat.",{"id":64,"partOfSpeech":35,"definition":65,"exampleSentences":66,"isPrimary":15,"meaningOrder":67},"019e830b-40e6-764c-ad14-63ec48b29ce8","Used as a relative pronoun referring to a place previously mentioned.","That's the school where I studied.\nThe park where we used to play has been closed.\nDo you remember the café where we first met?",3,"\u002Fuploads\u002Faudio\u002Ftts_11c476ca7e506014_en-US.mp3",{"id":70,"vocabularyWord":71,"displayOrder":67},"019b9856-387b-7d88-98bd-2d979a8a5fc1",{"id":72,"word":73,"frequency":30,"level":9,"language":8,"audioFilePath":74,"partsOfSpeech":75,"audio":38,"audioUrl":84},"019b850c-a402-7d52-be1e-5bc695839444","when","tts_cf44de931c42fdce_en-US.mp3",[76,80],{"id":77,"partOfSpeech":55,"definition":78,"exampleSentences":79,"isPrimary":38,"meaningOrder":39},"019b850e-1c18-78c0-8274-10094d365daf","At what time;
