Overview
The question word Who is used to ask about somebody who is doing an action or somebody who
is the object of an action.
● Most of correct answers will mention a person’s name, title, position, or his/her company’s
name. The most important thing when listening to responses to a question with Who is to
think of some proper noun. The proper noun may be a person’s name, or a geographical
name. Besides, the correct responses may mention a person’s title or position. So, you
should learn vocabulary about professions, positions, and titles.
● Sometimes, questions with the word Who may have correct responses indicating a
location place.
Who has the copy of the budget report?
🡺 It’s on your desk.
● When the listener is not sure about the response, he/she can say I have no idea./I’m not
sure./ I don’t know./ Why are you asking?
● For information questions with question words, it is absolutely wrong if you choose the
response starting with Yes/No.
● Some responses which contain similar sounding words or words of the same form
but different parts of speech are often used as distractors. You need to full understand
the questions to be able to choose the appropriate responses.
Example: Listen and choose the best response to the question. (2-1-01)
Who will replace Mr. Freeman when he leaves?
A. Mr. Washington will
B. Yes, it’s a beautiful area.
C. I’m not sure where he lives.
Even if you only hear the phrase Who will, you can easily choose (A) because it refers to a
person’s name. Response (B) is absolutely wrong because it starts with Yes. Response (C)
entraps you by using the word lives which sounds similar to leaves in the question.
Always remember that repeated words or similar sounding words like those in the questions are
often the distractors.
