RAISING AWARENESS
MODULE 1
THE USE OF WH QUESTIONS
INTRODUCTION:

• Learning how to ask questions is essential in any


language. In English, the most common questions are
known as "wh" words because they begin with those
two letters: where, when, why, what, and who etc .
They can function as adverbs, adjectives, pronouns,
or other parts of speech, and are used ask for specific
information.
WH IS FORMED

• Wh-form Verb + Answer


• What is your name? My name
is ...
• When is the mosque starting ?The
mosque is . .
• Where are you from? I'm from ...
WH IS FORMED

•Who are you? I'm


•Whose is this web site? It's
•Why is this web site here? Because
•How are you? I'm
Who

• Use this word to ask questions about


people. In this example, "who" serves
as a direct object.
• Who do you like?
• Who has he decided to hire for the job?
• In other instances, "who" serves as the
subject. In this case, the sentence structure is
similar to that of positive sentences.
• Who studies Russian?
• Who would like to take a vacation?
• In formal English, the word "whom" will
replace "who" as the direct object of a
preposition.
• To whom should I address this letter?
• For whom is this present?
What

•Use this word to ask about things or


actions in object questions.
•What does he do at weekends?
•What do you like to eat for dessert?
• By adding the word "like" to the sentence,
you can ask for physical descriptions about
people, things, and places.
• What type of car do you like?
• What is Mary like?
When

•Use this word to ask questions


about time-related events, specific
or general.
•When do you like going out?
•When does the bus leave?

•Where did you go on vacation?
How

• This word can be combined with adjectives


to ask questions about specific
characteristics, qualities and quantities.
• How tall are you?
• How much does it cost?
• How many friends do you have?
Which

• When associated with a noun, this word is used


when choosing between a number of items.
• Which book did you buy?
• Which kind of apple do you prefer?
• Which type of computer takes this plug?
USING PREPOSITIONS

•A number of "wh" questions can


combine with prepositions,
typically at the end of the
question. Some of the most
common combinations are:
•who ... for
•who ... with
•where ... to
•where ... from
•what ... for (= why)
•what ... in
Note how these word pairings are used in
the following

• Who for ? Eg Who are you working for?


• Where to eg Where are they going to?
• What for What did he buy that for?
