Asking questions is an important skill you need when you begin learning a language. You need to ask your teacher questions so you can improve quicker. Questions also help you to find out information about other students and get to know them better, and we all know that by making friends and sharing with them you learn much quicker than just studying from a book.
Look at the table below to see some question words and examples.
| Question Word | Function | Example |
| What | asking for information about something | What is her name? |
| When | asking about time | When is my class? |
| Where | asking in or at what place or position | Where is my class? |
| Which | asking about choice | Which course do you want? |
| Who | asking what or which person or people (subject) | Who is my teacher? |
| Whose | asking about ownership | Whose are these keys? |
| why | asking for reason, asking what…for | Why do you say that? |
| How | asking about how to do something | How do I meet a teacher? |
