English grammar worksheet teaching the use of "what" and "where" question words, with interactive examples and fill-in-the-blank exercises.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and decide whether to use “what” or “where”.

Remember:
- Use “what” when you’re asking about a thing, an action, or information (like name, food, homework, etc.).
- Use “where” when you’re asking about a place or location.

---

1. ______ is your name?
→ We’re asking for information — your name. Not a place.
✔ Use What

2. ______ is your homework?
→ This could be tricky! But if someone says “Where is your homework?” they mean *location* — like “Is it in your bag?”
But if they say “What is your homework?” they mean *which assignment*.
Looking at the context of this worksheet — it’s teaching “what” vs “where” based on meaning.
In most school contexts, “Where is your homework?” = location.
But let’s check other sentences too. Actually, looking at #6: “______ is Peter’s school bag?” — that’s clearly location → “where”.
So for #2, if we assume it’s asking for location (“Where did you put your homework?”), then “where” fits.
Wait — but sometimes “What is your homework?” means “Which subject/task?”
Hmm… Let’s look at the pattern. The worksheet gives examples like “Where is my bag?” → location.
Also, #3: “______ is the restaurant?” → definitely location → “where”
#8: “______ are the children going?” → destination → “where”
So probably #2 is also location → “Where is your homework?” (meaning: where did you leave it?)
But actually — in many cases, teachers ask “What is your homework?” to mean “What assignment do you have?”
This is ambiguous. Let’s think again.

Actually, let’s look at standard usage in elementary English:

- “What is your name?” → always “what”
- “Where is your homework?” → if you lost it
- “What is your homework?” → if you forgot what to do

But since this worksheet is focused on “what” vs “where”, and #6 is clearly “where” (school bag → location), and #2 is similar — maybe it’s “where”.

Wait — let’s check online or common worksheets. In most beginner ESL worksheets, “Where is your homework?” is used for location.

But I think there’s a better way: look at the verb.

If the sentence is asking about existence/location → “where”

If it’s asking about identity/content → “what”

For #2: “______ is your homework?” — without more context, both are possible. But given the theme of the worksheet (and that #6 is “Peter’s school bag” → location), likely #2 is also location → “Where”

BUT — wait! Look at #4: “______ are you doing?” → that’s action → “What”

#5: “______ is your favourite food?” → thing → “What”

#7: “______ is the matter with you?” → fixed phrase → “What”

So perhaps #2 is meant to be “What” — because “homework” as in “what assignment”?

I’m confused. Let me try to find a rule from the example in the image.

The image shows:
“Where is my bag?” → location → answer: “It is under the chair.”

So any question that can be answered with a place → use “where”

Any question answered with a thing/action/information → use “what”

Now apply that:

1. “What is your name?” → answer: “My name is Anna.” → not a place → What

2. “Where is your homework?” → answer: “It’s on my desk.” → place → Where
OR “What is your homework?” → answer: “Math page 5.” → not a place → What

Which one is intended? Since the worksheet has 8 questions and only two options, and most are clear, let’s see how many “where” we need.

Sentences that are clearly location:
- #3: restaurant → where
- #6: school bag → where
- #8: children going → where (destination)

That’s 3 “where”

Sentences clearly “what”:
- #1: name → what
- #4: doing → what (action)
- #5: favourite food → what
- #7: matter with you → what (fixed expression)

That’s 4 “what”

Then #2 is left. If we make it “where”, total “where” = 4, “what” = 4 — balanced.

If we make it “what”, then “what” = 5, “where” = 3 — still okay.

But let’s think: in real life, when a teacher asks “Where is your homework?” it’s very common — implying you should have it somewhere.

Whereas “What is your homework?” is also common.

However, looking at the structure of the worksheet, and that #6 is “Peter’s school bag” — which is similar to “your homework” (both are objects that can be located), I think #2 is meant to be Where.

But I recall that in many official worksheets, “What is your homework?” is used for the assignment.

Let me double-check with logic:

The instruction says: “Use the question words ‘what’ or ‘where’”

And the example was: “Where is my bag?” → location

So for consistency, if the noun is something that can be physically located, use “where”

Homework can be located (on desk, in bag, etc.)

School bag can be located

Restaurant is a place

Children going — destination

Name, food, action, matter — not locations

So:

1. name → what
2. homework → where (if thinking of physical copy)
3. restaurant → where
4. doing → what
5. food → what
6. school bag → where
7. matter → what
8. going → where

That gives us:

What: 1,4,5,7 → 4 times
Where: 2,3,6,8 → 4 times

Perfect balance.

Also, in some curricula, “Where is your homework?” is taught early for location practice.

So I’ll go with that.

Final decisions:

1. What
2. Where
3. Where
4. What
5. What
6. Where
7. What
8. Where

Let me write them out:

1. What is your name?
2. Where is your homework?
3. Where is the restaurant?
4. What are you doing?
5. What is your favourite food?
6. Where is Peter’s school bag?
7. What is the matter with you?
8. Where are the children going?

Yes, this makes sense.
