Wh questions
Clariza Garcilazo Herrera
¿What is this?
 There are two basic types of questions: yes or no
questions (closed questions) and information or open
questions. These are so called because it is not possible to
answer with a simple 'yes' or 'no' - require more
information. In fact, the number of possible answers is
unlimited. English called Wh- questions because all
interogativas words begin with the letters Wh (with the
exception of the word HOW).
Wh- Questions allow a speaker to find out
more information about topics. They are as
follows:
When? Time
Where? Place
Who? Person
Why? Reason
How? Manner
What? Object/ idea/ action
