Step-by-step solution for: Wh-questions Worksheets For Kids
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and turn it into a question using “how” + the right word.
We’ll match each answer to the correct “how” question based on what is being asked — like speed, frequency, weight, time, etc.
---
1. He was driving at 120 km per hour.
→ This is about speed → How fast...?
✔ How fast was he driving?
2. Amanda and Paul didn’t get on very well with each other.
→ This is about relationship quality → How well...?
✔ How well did Amanda and Paul get on with each other?
3. The strong box was too heavy for him to move.
→ This is about weight → How heavy...?
✔ How heavy was the box?
4. Steve is the strongest man I’ve ever met.
→ This is about strength → How strong...?
✔ How strong is Steve?
5. It took Tom two hours to repair the television.
→ This is about duration of time → How long...?
✔ How long did it take Tom to repair the television?
6. Frank is less clever than his sister.
→ This is about intelligence level → How clever...?
✔ How clever is Frank compared to his sister?
*(Or simpler: How clever is Frank?)*
But since we’re comparing, better to say:
✔ How clever is Frank in comparison to his sister?
Actually, let’s keep it simple and direct:
✔ How clever is Frank? (The answer implies comparison)
Wait — the original says “less clever”, so maybe:
✔ How clever is Frank compared to his sister?
But the instruction says “ask questions using ‘HOW’ alone or followed by appropriate word(s)”. So we can use “how clever” and imply comparison.
Let’s stick with:
✔ How clever is Frank?
7. Joe plays the violin three times a week.
→ This is about frequency → How often...?
✔ How often does Joe play the violin?
8. The baby was very hungry and wanted to have some more milk.
→ This is about degree of hunger → How hungry...?
✔ How hungry was the baby?
9. Jim’s very good at playing baseball. He’s the best player in the team.
→ This is about skill level → How good...?
✔ How good is Jim at playing baseball?
10. The meal was so expensive that he couldn’t pay for it.
→ This is about cost/price → How expensive...?
✔ How expensive was the meal?
11. Tim ate five pieces of cake. There was only one piece left.
→ This is about quantity eaten → How many...?
✔ How many pieces of cake did Tim eat?
12. Larry had toothache and went to the dentist two days ago.
→ This is about time in the past → How long ago...?
✔ How long ago did Larry go to the dentist?
13. There is a jar of strawberry jam in the fridge.
→ This is about quantity of uncountable noun (jam) → How much...?
Wait — “a jar” is countable, but “jam” is uncountable. The question should be about the amount of jam.
But the sentence says “a jar”, so maybe they want:
✔ How much strawberry jam is in the fridge?
Yes — because “jam” is uncountable.
14. The river was not deep enough to swim.
→ This is about depth → How deep...?
✔ How deep was the river?
15. Alan always goes to school on foot.
→ This is about method of travel → How...? (alone)
✔ How does Alan go to school?
16. MY grandmother goes cycling every day although she’s over 75.
→ This is about age → How old...?
✔ How old is your grandmother?
17. Fred’s new pair of shoes cost him 500 dollars.
→ This is about price/cost → How much...?
✔ How much did Fred’s new pair of shoes cost?
18. Jim was so ill yesterday that he had to stay in bed the whole day.
→ This is about degree of illness → How ill...?
✔ How ill was Jim yesterday?
---
Now let’s write them all neatly as final answers:
