Wh questions

those words used to formulate and introduce interrogative sentences where the answer


is not a yes or a no, but an open one.

All questions in verb to be, start with am- are – is para combiner con wh

We use the question words

who (for people),

when (for time),

what/which (for things),

where (for places),

why (for reasons)

how (for more details).

2. How are question words used?


The question words are placed at the beginning of the sentence and follow these
structures:

When the main verb is the verb to be:

WH + to be + subject + (complement)+question mark

WH- word Verb to be subject complement


What is Your name?
What is Your address
where are My friends?
where are You?
who is Your best friend
who is there?

who are you?

When the main verb is not the verb to be:

QW + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb + (complement)


Both the verb to be in the first case and the auxiliary verb in the second case will
correspond to the verb tense being used (to be: am, is, was...) (auxiliary: do, did, will...).
