WH-questions with be

When do you use a wh-question?

If you want information about a fact/person/thing/place/manner/… you use a wh-question. 

They are called wh-questions because they start with a question word.

Question words are pronouns: they represent the information you are asking about: "Who" is with you? "Peter" is with me.

The question words are:

• What: to ask about objects: What is she doing?
• How: to ask about a manner: How are you?
• Where: to ask about a place: Where are you going?

• Who: to ask about people: Who are you?
• When: to ask about a time: When are you leaving?

1-) Match the questions to the answers

2-) Exercise  Wh questions with be.
