Wh Questions in English
List Of Wh Questions With Examples
In English there are two types of questions all students must learn about.
These are Wh- questions and yes/no questions. Wh- questions, also known as ‘open questions’, are question words that begin with Wh (with the exception of ‘how’).
There are seven Wh questions in English. These are who, what, when, where, why, which and how.
Wh- questions are known as open questions because when answering Wh- questions there are many possible responses you can give.
Yes/no questions, on the other hand, can only be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’, and this is why these types of questions are known as ‘closed questions.’
In this post we have put together an extensive list of Wh questions with examples to help you and your students learn about Wh questions in English.
