Informative Questions

Informative Questions are use to ask about qualities, people, time, etc. They consist of who, what, where, which, when, why, which, and how, that are usually called WH-questions. Most WH-questions begin with a Questions word + Auxiliary + Subject + Verb.

Let's study the following examples:

• Who is the man in the green hat? 

• What does she do in the weekend? 

• What are you reading? 

• Where did you go on your holiday?

• When did you go come? 

• When does the bus leave? 

• Why are you late? 

• Which book do you like? 

• Which CD album did you buy? 

• How do you solve your problem?

• 'Which’ is used to talk about things, especially choices with a small number of possible answers.
