In English there are seven ‘Wh…’ questions. Here’s what they are and how they are used: What is used for a thing. ‘What is it?’ Who is used for a person. Whose has the same meaning but it is always followed by a noun. ‘Who were you talking to?’ ‘Whose car is that?’ Why is used for a reason. ‘Why were you late?’ When is used for a time or date ‘When did you start working here?’ Which is used for a choice. ‘Which do you prefer, tea or coffee?’ Where is used for a place. ‘Where do you live?’ How is used for an amount or the way. ‘How much does it cost?’ ‘How do I get to the station?’
