En esta clase vamos a hablar de los questions words y de cmo podemos usarlos correctamente con los verbos to be
Question words are those words that may go in the beginning of a question. When we use question words we do not use a yes or no answer. Los questions words son las palabras especficas que se deben colocar al inicio de la frase pregunta en ingls. Cuando se utilizan estos no se responde con las respuestas cortas si o no (Yes, I am por ejemplo) Se responde con una oracin completa ( S+V+C).
Ejemplo : Whats your name? Im Jesus Maldonado. (The answer is a sentence) With no question word: Are you Maria? No, Im not (The answer is a yes/no because there isnt a question word) Question words are used to gather specific information. The following table shows the meaning of the question words in Spanish.

Table # 1 Question words (verb to be practice)

English Where Why Who What / (time) Which How long How often Whose How many/much How old How How + adjetivo How come

Spanish Donde Por que Quien Que / Cual (a que hora) Que / Cual Por cuanto tiempo / para medidas Con que frecuencia De quien Cuantos Edad Como Descripciones Como asi

Table # 2 (Question structure of the verb to be in the present simple with QWs)
Question Word What How old Where Who Verb (to be) is are is is Subject (your) name? you? Juan (the) present Complement [no complement] [no complement] from? for?

Remember: In questions with the verb to be, only the question words can go in the beginning. Nothing may go in front of the question words in full questions. De donde eres? -> Lo lgico seria : From where are you? (INCORRECTO) Recuerden que si algo va en su idioma antes del QW entonces lo mandamos al final en el complemento. Correcto: Where are you from? (QW goes first)

Typical questions with the above properties: What is this for? (Para que es esto?) Who are the books for ? (Para quien son los libros?) What is the movie about? (De que se trata la pelcula?) Preguntas importantes con sus respuestas para aprender: Where are you from? Im from Australia Whats (what + is) your address? Its 876 Snow Road. Whats your nationality? Im Peruvian. Whose pencil is this? It is my pencil (Whose = de quien y va antes del sustantivo) How old is Marcus? Hes twenty years old. Why are you sad? Because I am sick. How are you? Im fine, thank you.
