What are WH- Words?
WH-words are special words in English that are used to ask questions. These words usually start with the letters “WH.” They help us find out more information about something. For example, “Who” is used to ask about a person, “What” is for asking about things or information, “Where” is about a place, “When” is for time, “Why” asks for reasons, and “How” is used to ask about the way something is done or how something happened. These words are like keys that unlock answers to our questions.
