We use question words like who, what, when, where, why, and how to ask for information. These words are called wh words because they include the letters w and h. To form a wh question use:
Be: Wh Question Word + To Be + Subject
Other verbs: Wh Question Word + Auxiliary Verb + Subject + Base Verb
To answer a wh question, you must give information. You cannot answer yes or no to a wh question.
