What Are WH Questions? (Quick Recap)
WH questions are inquiries that begin with question words like who, what, where, when, why, and how. They are used to gather specific information about people, things, places, time, reasons, or methods.
Unlike yes/no questions, WH questions require detailed answers rather than a simple “yes” or “no.”
