If you want to know more about someone’s daily routine you can use the words: what, when, where, why and who to get information.
Imagine you meet a beautiful girl or a handsome boy at your school and you want to get to know her/him more, you have already asked these questions:
Do you watch TV series on the weekend?
Do you like music?
The answer was YES, but it is not enough. It is clear that you need more information. You want to know the name of the TV series that person likes or if she/he knows your favorite song or rock band.
So, let’s see how the words what, when, where, why and who can help you to get more information.
If you need information about…
A thing
use
What
A person
Who
A time of an event
When
A place
Where
A reason
Why
Important! We say What time do you wake up? not When time do you wake up?
Use the Wh-words (what, where, when, why and who) at the beginning of your question.
Example: Do you go to the cinema? Yes, I do.
Time
When do you go to the cinema? On Fridays.
Place
Where do you go to the cinema? Cineteca or Rosario Town Center.
Person
Who do you go to the cinema with? My friends or my parents.
Reason
Why do you go to the cinema? Because* I love movies.
*When you use WHY to ask for information, you need to use because to introduce your answer.
As you can see, it is very easy to get more information using Wh-words.
Now, it is time to practice!
Choose one of the WH-words to complete each question.
Look at the given answers and write a question for each one.
Follow the example:
