WH Questions — How, What, Who, Where, Why
WH question words ask for information (not just yes/no). Each one asks about a different thing.
| Word | Asks about | Example |
|---|---|---|
| What | a thing / action | What is this? |
| Who | a person | Who is she? |
| Where | a place | Where do you live? |
| Why | a reason | Why are you sad? |
| How | a way / condition | How are you? |
Order: WH word + helping verb (is/are/do/does) + subject + verb?
What do you want?
Who is your teacher?
Where is the school?
Why are you late?
How does it work?
Answer Why with Because…; answer How with By… / Well / Fine.
Common mistake: Forgetting the helping verb: "Where you live?" → Where do you live?
