INGLÉS V
WHY WHICH
WHAT
What:
Is used in a question to express a notion about something or
the nature of that thing. It refers to an object, a pastime or
hobby, a sport, a quality, to enumerate only a few. But it
never refers to a person. In using what we are looking for a
thing.
What time is it ?
Who is he ?
Who is the new employee?
Who did you talk to yesterday?
WHICH
Which:
Is used in a question to express a choice or a
preference about the likes and dislikes of a
person. Often, in the question, the person will
have the choice of two or more things.
Which class are you in?
Which do you prefer in your coffee, milk or cream?
Which fruits do you like?
Which colour do you want?
HOW
How:
Is known as being an adverb. Nevertheless, it is
still used as a question word. In the question it
expresses the manner in which an action is done,
a person is feeling and/or a means of
transportation.

How are you feeling today ?
How does he know the answer?

Finally you can see that a large range of possibilities exist in the use of Wh question
words. Now it is up to you to practice those words in order to master them:
*Read the dialogs and then practice with a partner using information about
yourselves.
Examples:
1. A: What do you do?
B: work as an administrator.
As you have noticed, information questions have the same structure than YES - NO
questions. In this case we are using the - WH word at the beginning of the sentence, and
the other elements are the same we have used in Yes - No questions. Of course, you have
to be careful at giving the answers.
Remember that the words 'because' and 'why' are used in different ways. One of them is
used to answer questions and the other one is used to ask them.
The Wh question words
• Read the answers carefully and write the questions.
1. A:Where _________________________________?
B: I work for a travel company.
2. A: What_______________________?
B: l'm in the accounting department.
3. A: ____________________:?
