- WH QUESTIONS

These are the wh- forms and we use them to make open or wh questions:
what, when, where, which, who, whom, whose, why, how, they are all used
to ask about particular kinds of information.
You use what when you are asking for information about something.
You use when to ask about the time that something happened or will
happen.
You use where to ask questions about place or position.
You use which when you are asking for information about one of a limited
number of things.
You use who or whom when you are asking about someone's identity.
You use whose to ask about possession.
You use why to ask for a reason.
You use how to ask about the way in which something is done.

Wh- form + Verb + Subject + Complement? Answer

What is your name? My name is Lynne.
When is the party? The party is on Tuesday.
Where are you from? I'm from England.
Which is your car? The red car is mine.
Who are you? I'm Lynne.
Whose is this dog? It's mine.
Why is this bag here? Because I put there!
How are you? I'm fine thanks.

What, which and whose can be used with or without a noun as a question
word. For example:
- What time is it? = What is the time?
- Which car is yours? = Which is your car?
- Whose bag is this? = Whose is this bag?

Whom can only be used to ask information about the object of the
sentence. Although using whom would be grammatically correct, we
normally use who because it doesnt sound so formal. For example:
"Whom did you see?" would normally be expressed as "Who did you see?"
1.a.- OBJECT QUESTIONS
Object questions ask about the object of a sentence. The word order of the
question must be changed and the question requires the use of an auxiliary
verb (AUXILIARY-SUBJECT-VERB) For example:
- I caught the train to London........ Which train did you catch?
- I saw a film yesterday..................... What did you see yesterday?
- Mary usually goes to school by bus......How does Mary go to school?

1.b.- SUBJECT QUESTIONS

There are also subject questions. These are questions that we ask to find out
about the subject. When what, which, who or whose refers to the subject,
the verb doesnt need an auxiliary For example:
- The train to London arrived late.................Which train arrived late?"
- I won the race...............................Who won the race?"

1.c.- INTONATION
- Intonation in Yes/No Questions is rising
La entonacin de las preguntas que pueden contestarse s/no, las que no
llevan una palabra WH- al principio, es RISING. Eso significa ascendente,
como si el hablante no hubiera concluido. De las preguntas anteriores, las
siguientes tienen rising intonation:
Are you mad? Is he British? Are we late?

- Intonation in WH- Questions is falling

La entonacin de las preguntas que llevan una palabra WH- al principio es
FALLING. Eso significa descendente, como si el hablante hubiera
concluido. De las preguntas anteriores, las siguientes tienen falling
intonation:
Where is she? Whats your problem?
When is the meeting? Who are they?
