English grammar worksheet focusing on question words for language learners.

Let's solve this step by step. The task is to fill in the correct question word from the list provided (in blue thought bubbles):
what, how many, when, whose, how much, why, who, how, where, which

We’ll go through each sentence and determine the appropriate question word based on the context of the answer.

---

1. ___ is your hobby? Drawing
→ "Drawing" is a thing/activity → What
✔ What

2. ___ are you late? I've missed my bus.
→ Explaining the reason → Why
✔ Why

3. ___ lessons do you have? Six lessons
→ Asking about quantity (countable) → How many
✔ How many

4. ___ is that man at the door? My uncle.
→ Asking about identity → Who
✔ Who

5. ___ do you go to the club? At 6 o'clock
→ Time → When
✔ When

6. ___ is your sister? She is eleven.
→ Age → How old → But "how old" isn't listed. Wait — we only have: what, how many, when, whose, how much, why, who, how, where, which
But "how old" is not an option. However, "how" is available. But we need to check if it fits.
Actually, "how old" is a common phrase, but since "how old" isn’t listed, maybe it’s expecting just "how"? But that doesn't make sense grammatically.
Wait — perhaps there’s a typo or mistake? Let's look again.

Wait — the word "how" is listed, but "how old" is not. But the answer is “She is eleven.” → age → so the correct question is "How old", but since we can only use one word, and "how" is available, maybe it's expected?

But actually, "how" alone doesn't work — it needs "old". So perhaps this is a flaw in the exercise?

Alternatively, maybe they expect "how" as a placeholder? That seems incorrect.

Wait — let’s recheck: Is there another possibility?

No. The correct question word for age is how old, but since "how old" isn't among the options, and "how" is, perhaps it's intended to be used with implied "old"?

But that’s not standard.

Wait — look at the answer: “She is eleven.” → This clearly refers to age, so the correct question is "How old".

But since "how old" isn't listed, and only "how" is, perhaps it's a mistake?

But let's keep going and see if any other questions might help.

Wait — maybe the intended answer is "how", even though it's incomplete?

But that would be incorrect grammar.

Alternatively, perhaps the exercise assumes "how" is acceptable here?

But no — better to check if there’s a typo.

Wait — looking back: The word "how" is in the cloud. But "how old" is not a single word.

So likely, the intended answer is "How old", but since only one word is allowed, and "how" is available, maybe it's meant to be filled with "how"?

But that's not accurate.

Wait — perhaps the answer should be "how", and the full question is implied?

But that’s not good English.

Wait — let's check similar questions.

For example:

- How much is the tea? → price
- How many books → countable

So "how" alone is not sufficient.

But "how" is used in phrases like:
- How often?
- How long?
- How far?
- How old?

But none of those are standalone.

So perhaps the intended answer is "how", and the student is supposed to know it's "how old"?

But that seems problematic.

Wait — perhaps the question is miswritten?

Alternatively, maybe it's "how" because "how" is the base word, and the rest is implied?

But I think this is a flaw.

But let's assume that the exercise expects "how" here, even though it's not ideal.

Wait — let's skip and come back.

7. ___ are you crying? I've lost my keys.
→ Reason → Why
✔ Why

8. ___ will you return? In two days
→ Time → When
✔ When

9. ___ books have you bought? Three books
→ Countable quantity → How many
✔ How many

10. ___ is your dad? He is 45.
→ Age → How old → Again, same issue. Only "how" is available.
So likely, the answer is "how", assuming "how old" is implied.

But again, this is not ideal.

Wait — perhaps the word "how" is meant to be used here, even though it's incomplete?

Yes, probably — because otherwise, no word fits.

So for now, we'll go with "how".

But wait — is there a better fit?

No.

So:

10. How is your dad? → No, that doesn't make sense.

It must be "How old".

But since the word list has only "how", maybe it's a mistake.

Wait — could it be "what"? No — "What is your dad?" → "He is 45" → doesn't make sense.

Or "who"? "Who is your dad?" → "He is 45" → no.

So only "how" makes sense, even if incomplete.

So likely, the intended answer is "how", with the understanding that "old" is implied.

Similarly for #6.

So we’ll proceed.

11. ___ will the concert start? At seven p.m.
→ Time → When
✔ When

12. ___ is playing with the dog? My friend Tom
→ Person → Who
✔ Who

13. ___ is the kitten? Under the table
→ Location → Where
✔ Where

14. ___ book is on the table? It's mine.
→ Ownership → Whose
✔ Whose

15. ___ will you get to London? By car
→ Manner/way → How
✔ How

16. ___ do you do in the evening? I usually watch TV.
→ Activity → What
✔ What

17. ___ friends do you have? I have a lot of friends.
→ Quantity (countable) → How many
✔ How many

18. ___ is the tea? It's 50p.
→ Price → How much
✔ How much

19. ___ cat is on the tree? It's Mona's cat.
→ Ownership → Whose
✔ Whose

20. ___ sports do you like? I like basketball.
→ Type/category → What
✔ What

21. ___ are your parents? They are in the shop.
→ Location → Where
✔ Where

22. ___ swims faster: you or Alec? Alec swims faster.
→ Choice between two → Which
✔ Which

22. ___ is your new car? It's very expensive.
→ Price → How much
✔ How much

23. ___ will you spend your holiday? In Greece, I think.
→ Place → Where
✔ Where

24. ___ will you go to Paris? By plane.
→ Manner/transport → How
✔ How

25. ___ bag is it? It's Tom's bag.
→ Ownership → Whose
✔ Whose

Now let's go back to the tricky ones:

Question 6: ___ is your sister? She is eleven.

→ Should be How old → but only "how" is available.
But "how" alone doesn't work.

Wait — is there a possibility that it's "what"? No — "What is your sister?" → "She is eleven" → doesn't make sense.

"Who"? "Who is your sister?" → "She is eleven" → no.

So only possible answer is "how", even though it's incomplete.

Similarly, Question 10: ___ is your dad? He is 45. → Same issue.

So likely, the exercise expects "how" for both, implying "how old".

But technically, it's not correct.

Alternatively, maybe the word "how" is meant to be used, and students are to understand that "how old" is implied.

So we'll go with "how" for both.

But wait — is there a word missing? The list includes "how", but not "how old".

So yes, "how" is the closest.

Now let's compile the answers:

1. What
2. Why
3. How many
4. Who
5. When
6. How *(implied "how old")*
7. Why
8. When
9. How many
10. How *(implied "how old")*
11. When
12. Who
13. Where
14. Whose
15. How
16. What
17. How many
18. How much
19. Whose
20. What
21. Where
22. Which
22. How much
23. Where
24. How
25. Whose

Wait — notice that #22 appears twice. That’s a typo in the list.

Looking back:

> 22. ____ swims faster: you or Alec? Alec swims faster.
> 22. ____ is your new car? It's very expensive.

So it's duplicated. Probably meant to be 23 and 24, but the numbering is off.

But in the original, it's:

22. Which swims faster...
22. How much is your new car...

So likely, the second one should be 23, but it's labeled 22.

But we’ll keep the numbers as given.

So final answers:

1. What
2. Why
3. How many
4. Who
5. When
6. How
7. Why
8. When
9. How many
10. How
11. When
12. Who
13. Where
14. Whose
15. How
16. What
17. How many
18. How much
19. Whose
20. What
21. Where
22. Which
22. How much
23. Where
24. How
25. Whose

But note: the second 22 is actually 23, and the last one is 25, so there's a gap.

Wait — after 22 (which appears twice), then 23, 24, 25.

So:

- First 22: Which
- Second 22: How much → should be 23
- Then 23: Where
- 24: How
- 25: Whose

So the numbering is off — but the content is fine.

Explanation Summary:

- What: For things, activities, or objects (e.g., hobby, sport)
- Why: For reasons
- How many: For countable quantities
- Who: For people
- When: For time
- How: For manner, way, or method; also used in "how old", "how much", etc.
- How much: For price or uncountable amounts
- Whose: For ownership
- Where: For location
- Which: For choice between options

The two "how" questions (#6 and #10) are asking about age, so "how" is used as part of "how old", even though it's not a complete phrase.

This is a common simplification in basic exercises.
