WH Question Words

Today, we are going to continue with our next lesson which is about WH question words. Basically, WH question words are words that start with the letters WH which are used to ask questions to others. Let's take a look at the table below :

Question Word	Function	Example
what	asking for information about something	What is your name?

As you all can see, these words (what, what for, when, where, which, who, whom, whose and why) are used in posing questions to others. Read the note above thoroughly and try to comprehend it because I am  going to give you a task to do in my next post.

Happy reading my dear students!
