Question words PDF Imprimir E-Mail
The words who, whom, whose, which, what, when, where, why and how are used in questions to show what kind of information is wanted.

  • Who said that? (asking for a personal subject)
  • What did he want? (asking for a non-personal object)
  • When will it be really? (asking for a time expression)
  • Why are you crying? (asking for reason)
     Who and Whom are pronouns, and act as subject or object in their clauses.
     When, where, why and how act as adverb.
     What, which and whose can be pronouns or determiners.
  • What do you want? (pronoun)
     What sort do you want? (determiner)
  • Which is mine? (pronoun)
     Which hat is mine? (determiner)
  • Whose is the brown bike? (pronoun)
     Whose hat is this? (determiner)

Wh-questions begin with a question word such as who, how, what, etc. We put an auxiliary or modal verb before the subject or the question.

Wh-word + auxiliary/modal + subject

  • Which is usually used when there is a limited choice of answers.
     E.g. Which of the two cars you prefer-the black or the red one?
   
     Which is also used alone, or before nouns, one/ones or of, to ask about thins, people or animals.
     E.g. Which is you coat?    Which coat is yours?
     Which one do you prefer?  The black one.

  • Whose is used to ask about possession.
     E.g. Whose is that car? It's Rachel's.

  • Who is used without a noun to ask about people.
     E.g. Who do you need to see? The Chef.

  • What is used  to ask about people, things or animals when there is an unlimited choice of answers.
     E.g. What sports event do you like watching?
     What is also used alone or before a noun to ask about things.   
     E.g. What are you looking for? The car keys.
     What color eyes does he have? Green.

  • When
     E.g. When are they coming? Next month.

  • Why
     E.g. Why are they crying? Because their cat died.

  • Where
