HOW TO FRAME “WH” QUESTIONS?

"Wh" questions are questions that typically start with question words such as who, what, where, when, why, and how. These questions are used to gather information about specific details, actions, reasons, or circumstances. Here's how to frame "wh" questions along with examples for each type:
 1. Who:
"Who" questions inquire about the identity of a person or people involved in a situation.
Example:
- Who is the president of the United States?
- Who is coming to the party tonight?
 
2. What:
"What" questions seek information about objects, events, actions, or ideas.
Example:
- What is your favorite color?
- What time does the movie start?
 
3. Where:
"Where" questions ask about the location or place of something or someone.
Example:
- Where did you go for your vacation?
- Where is the nearest coffee shop?
 
4. When:
"When" questions focus on the time or date of an event or action.
Example:
- When is your birthday?
- When does the train arrive?
 
5. Why:
"Why" questions explore the reasons or motives behind something.
Example:
- Why did you choose that restaurant for dinner?
- Why is she upset?
 
6. How:
"How" questions inquire about the manner or method of doing something or the state of something.
Example:
- How do you bake a cake?
- How are you feeling today?
 
7. Which:
"Which" questions help in making a choice between options or seeking clarification on a specific item.
Example:
- Which book did you choose for your book club?
- Which color do you prefer, blue or green?
 
8. Whose:
"Whose" questions inquire about the possession or ownership of something.
Example:
- Whose car is parked in front of the house?
- Whose phone is this?
 
9. Whom:
"Whom" questions are used to ask about the object of an action when referring to people.
Example:
- Whom did you invite to the party?
- To whom are you sending the email?
 
10. What kind of:
"What kind of" questions seek specific information about the characteristics or qualities of something.
Example:
- What kind of music do you like?
- What kind of food is served at the restaurant?
 
11. What time:
"What time" questions focus on seeking the exact time of an event or activity.
Example:
- What time does the meeting start?
- What time is your flight?
 
12. What for:
"What for" questions inquire about the purpose or reason for doing something.
Example:
- What are you studying for?
- What is this tool used for?
 
13. How many:
"How many" questions are used to ask about the quantity or number of something.
Example:
- How many books do you have on your shelf?
- How many people are attending the event?
 
14. How much:
"How much" questions inquire about the quantity or cost of something uncountable or abstract.
Example:
- How much water do you need for the recipe?
- How much does the concert ticket cost?
 
15. How often:
"How often" questions ask about the frequency or regularity of an action.
Example:
- How often do you exercise?
- How often do you visit your grandparents?
 
By using these additional "wh" question words, you can further diversify your questions and enhance your communication skills to gather specific and detailed information in various situations. Remember to practice framing questions to become more proficient in using "wh" questions effectively. It's essential to remember that the structure of "wh" questions often involves inverting the subject and auxiliary verb (or the verb "to be" in some cases). 
For example:
 - Statement: She is going to the party.
- "Wh" Question: Where is she going?
 - Statement: They will arrive tomorrow.
- "Wh" Question: When will they arrive?
