LESSON
Key Points
DEFINITION:
When you want to give questions about personal information, it is always in
the Present Simple…so you have to follow the structure of the present simple
tense.
Look at the following examples:
WH-questions in Present Simple Tense
What’s your name?
What’s her / his name
What’s their names
What’s your address
What’s her/ his address…etc.
• Explanation :
- ‘What‘s’ or ‘What is’ is followed by her, his, our, their. These are called
possessive pronouns.
-Other Examples: Your bag, her bag, his watch, their watches, my bracelet,
etc.
How to answer :
- My name is David
- Her name is Lily…
-Their names are David and Lily or people just commonly say:
-I’m David
-She is Lily…etc.
-What grade are you ?
- What city is she/he from?
- How old are you/they?
Please notice that we use ‘be’ form: are, is, am in these questions
Remember the rules…You -are…I -am…She / He- is…
With this ‘be’ form we often see them shortened or contraction when they go
together with subjects. For example: She is – She’s, You are – You’re etc.
