WH Questions

What are the Wh- questions? Who, What, Where, When, Why, How?

What questions are the first Wh- questions we begin to understand. What questions ask about a thing or an action (e.g., “What is he doing?”).

Who questions are mastered next. These questions ask about a person (e.g., “Who picks up your garbage?”).

Where questions are the third Wh- question mastered. Where questions ask about a place (e.g., “Where do birds live?”).

When and why questions are mastered last, with why being the hardest Wh- question to answer. When questions ask about a time (e.g., “When do we go to sleep?”) and why questions ask for a reason (e.g., “Why is he sad?”).

Finally, how questions ask about numbers or the way something is done. They can also ask about a feeling (e.g., “How many pencils are there?” “How do you get to the library?” “How do you feel today?”).
