WH Words
WH Words
We use the “wh-” question words to form questions when we want to get information
about someone or something. The questions beginning with ‘wh-’ words are called
open questions because usually there are many possible answers to these questions.
(7) Which
e.g. (i) Which book do you want to borrow?
I want to borrow the blue one. It is more interesting.
(ii) Which subject of your curriculum do you like?
I like Mathematics. It is interesting.
Note that we use ‘which’ when we have a general idea of what the answer will
be. We use ‘what’ when we expect any possible answers.
e.g. Which club did you join, the Chess Club or the Art Club?
What club did you join?
