2. Framing WH Questions
What is ‘wh’ question and examples?
WH-questions are questions starting with WH-words including: what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why and how. The answer of a ‘WH’ question is a complete sentence and not a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.
E.g.: Why are you going?
What do you want?
When will the program start?
How are you now?
We usually form wh-questions with
1) wh + an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb.
2) wh + a modal verb + subject + main verb
Be:
When are you leaving? Who’s been paying the bills?
Framing Yes or No type questions
Do:
Where do they live 4 days ago?
Why didn’t you call me?
Modal:
Who would she stay with?
Where should I park my scotty?
