 Why questions
•what (qué)
•when (cuándo)
•where (dónde)
•who (quién)
•why (por qué)
•whom (a quién)
Y un poco más complicado:
•which (cuál)
•de quién (de quién)
A propósito, las palabras wh también se utilizan para crear «frases dentro
frases». A esto lo llamamos relative clauses . Pero éstas no tienen por qué ser
preguntas en absoluto (luego más al respecto). Por lo tanto, las mismas «wh-
words» se denominan entonces pronombres relativos (relative pronouns).

out about a thing

question word + helping verb + subject+ main verb ?

 Who
Who is used to ask questions about people

Existen dos maneras:

Who ( informal) is the subject of the questions
Whom ( informal) is the object of the questions

Who

Forming wh-questions
With an auxiliary verb
We usually form wh-questions with wh- + an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) +
subject + main verb or with wh- + a modal verb + subject + main verb:
Be: When are you leaving?

Do: Where do they live?

Have: What has she done now?
Modal: Who would she stay with?
Who’s been paying the bills?
Why didn’t you call me?

What have they decided?

Where should I park?

12
• Without an auxiliary verb
Warning:
• When what, who, which or whose is the subject or part of the subject, we do not use the auxiliary. We use the
word order subject + verb:

• What fell off the wall? Which horse won?

• Who bought this? Whose phone rang?

Compare
• Who owns this bag?

• Who is the subject of the sentence and this bag is the object. We use no auxiliary verb.

• Who do you love most?

• Who is the object of the sentence and you is the subject. We use the auxiliary verb do.

13
 Negative wh-questions

When we ask negative wh-questions, we use the

auxiliary verb do when there is no other auxiliary or
modal verb, even when the wh-word is the subject of
the clause:

Who doesn’t want an ice cream?

Which door didn’t open?

 Como puedes ver todas las preguntas con el pasado simple comienzan con (1) did,
estas son seguidas de un (2) pronombre o sujeto, de un (3) verbo en Inglés y por
último del (4) complemento de la oración
Siguiendo esto puedes crear oraciones como:
•Did you do exercises? = ¿Hiciste ejercicios?
•Did you pay for the food? = ¿Pagaste por la comida?
•Did you watch a horror movies? = ¿Viste una pelicula de terror?
Todo es bastante facíl, si manejas verbos en Inglés y algo de vocabulario.
