Grade 8 Grammar Lesson 19 Wh- questions
What are wh- questions?
How do we form wh- questions?
A question that begins in a wh- word is called a wh- question. We ask such questions for information.
Wh- words are who, what, whose, why, where, when and how.
Most wh- questions follow this structure:
Wh- + auxiliary + subject + main verb…?
When be is the main verb, it comes before the subject in wh- questions.
Sometimes, we may use a question phrase with what and how instead of a single wh- word. They include: What time, What kind/ sort of, What colour, How many, How much, How old, How long/ far, How often etc.
