Tips for Students:
1. Always pay attention to the WH word in the question. It will help you understand what type of information is being asked for.
2. Remember that WH questions can be answered in full sentences to provide more detailed responses.
Example:
Question: Where do you live?
Answer: I live in Palanpur.
(હું પાલનપુરમાં રહું છું.)
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
1. Incorrect Word Order:
Don’t forget that in English, the subject generally comes after the WH question word.
Wrong: What you are doing?
Correct: What are you doing?
2. Confusion Between Who and Whom:
Who is used as a subject.
Whom is used as an object.
Example: Who is calling you? (Subject)
Whom did you call? (Object)
I hope this explanation of WH questions will help you to understand their use better. Practice answering and forming WH questions to improve your English communication skills.
