Question Words
Do you remember all the question words in English? Let’s check:
What
Which
How
Who
Where
Why
When
Question words are very important, very useful and very easy to use. They’re used in questions to show what kind of information is wanted.
Questions with “What” and “Which”
“Which” is used when there is a choice and “what” is used in a more general sense.
For example:
“Which colour do you prefer?”
“What colour is your bedroom?”
These two question words can be a bit confusing, so, when in doubt, just use “what”.
Let’s look at more examples:
“What do you want?”
“What do you do?”
“What do you like?”
“What‘s your name?”
“What time is it?”
“What make is your car?”
“Which is your house?”
“Which did you prefer?”
“Which is correct?”
Questions with “What” and “like”
There is a common sentence structure in English consisting of the words “what + like” and it is used to ask for a description of something.
Make sure not to confuse it with the verb “to like”.
For example:
“What is the weather like?”
“What is the hotel like?”
“What is the food like?”
Unit 18 – An unnecessary Question
