What is Wh-Question ?
question starting with word beginning wh : a question that starts with who, what, where, when, why, or how. It cannot be answered by "yes" or "no."
Who refers to people, and can be used as subject, object or complement:
- Who owns that car?
- Who did you meet?
- Who was her father?
Whom is used as a formal alternative to who as object, and also directly after preposition:
- Whom did you meet?
- To whom were you talking?
Which is used to refer to people when we want to identify somebody in a group (For example,in a crowded room or on a photograph):
- "Which is your brother?" "The one next to Ken"
When we use who or what as subjects, the verb that follows is usually singular, even if a plural answer is expected:
- Who wants a cup of coffee?
- What is there to do in Birmingham at christmas?
We use how, not what, to ask-
- a general opinion on something : How was the journey?
- about general health : How is your brother?
- about preferences relating to food and drink : How do you like your coffee?
We can use whose to ask about the person that owns or is responsible for something. Whose can be used either before a verb (as a pronoun):
- Whose are these boots?
or before a noun or noun phrase (as a determiner) introducing direct or indirect questions:
- Whose boots are these?

- Where did he go? He went to Chiangrai.
- Where do you live? I live in Sukhothai.
Why use to reason and use to adverb only and answer is because...example
