Question-word questions
Use the question words what, which, who (sometimes whom), whose,
when, where and how to ask for information. The verbs be, have and do,
and helping verbs such as can, will and should are also used in questions.The helping verb comes before the subject, as it does in yes or no questions.
Here are some examples. Again, the helping verb is printed in bold and the
subject is printed in color.What is your name?What date is it today?Which boy is your brother?Which house do you live in?Who is the boy next to Alan?Who (or Whom) did he ask?Whose book is this?When can I come to visit you?When does the spring vacation start?Where is the pencil that I left on my desk?Where do the birds go when they fly away in winter?How can Grandma read without her glasses?How does a plane stay in the sky? Sometimes the wh-word itself is the subject of the sentence. In this case, don’t
use do to form questions.Who wants to come with me?What caused the accident?Which is the fastest car?I’ve got my coat. Whose is this?◗
