Sure! Let’s solve this WH-Questions worksheet step by step.
The goal is to choose the correct
WH-word (from the word bank) to complete each question logically.
---
✔ Word Bank:
- WHOSE
- WHERE
- WHO
- HOW
- WHEN
- WHY
- WHAT
---
🔍 Let’s go question by question:
---
1. ________ is the date today?
→ We’re asking for *when* something happened or is happening — specifically, what day/month/year it is.
✔ Correct answer:
WHEN
---
2. ________ are you today?
→ This is asking about your state or condition — “How are you?” is a standard greeting.
✔ Correct answer:
HOW
---
3. ________ is your name?
→ Asking for a person’s identity.
✔ Correct answer:
WHAT *(“What is your name?” — common phrasing)*
> Note: Some might think “WHO”, but “Who is your name?” is grammatically incorrect. We say “What is your name?”
---
4. ________ are you from?
→ Asking about place of origin.
✔ Correct answer:
WHERE
---
5. ________ old are you?
→ Asking about age — “How old are you?” is the standard phrase.
✔ Correct answer:
HOW
---
6. ________ is your birthday?
→ Again, asking for a time/date.
✔ Correct answer:
WHEN
---
7. ________ is she?
→ Asking about a person’s identity — who she is.
✔ Correct answer:
WHO
---
8. ________ are you happy?
→ Asking for the reason behind an emotion.
✔ Correct answer:
WHY
---
9. ________ pencil is this?
→ Asking about ownership — whose pencil is it?
✔ Correct answer:
WHOSE
---
10. ________ is your song for?
→ Asking about purpose or recipient — “What is it for?” or “Who is it for?”
But since we have “WHAT” and “WHO” in the bank, and the structure is “is your song for ___”, it’s likely asking *what purpose* or *who it’s intended for*.
However, “What is your song for?” is grammatically acceptable (meaning “What is the purpose?”), while “Who is your song for?” is also possible (meaning “For whom?”).
BUT — looking at the word bank and typical ESL worksheets, they usually expect:
✔ WHOSE —
✘ No, that doesn’t fit (“Whose is your song for?” is wrong).
✔ WHO — “Who is your song for?” → grammatically correct and logical.
✔ WHAT — “What is your song for?” → also grammatically correct (e.g., “What is this tool for?”).
⚠️ Here’s the catch: The most natural and commonly taught answer in such worksheets is
WHO, because it implies “for whom is the song intended?”
But let’s check grammar:
- “Who is your song for?” → ✔️ correct (asking about person)
- “What is your song for?” → ✔️ correct (asking about purpose)
However, since
WHO is available and fits perfectly with “for whom”, and
WHAT was already used in #3, and the worksheet likely expects one unique answer per slot — we’ll go with:
✔ WHO
*(Note: If the worksheet allows multiple correct answers, both “WHO” and “WHAT” could work depending on context. But for standard ESL practice, “WHO” is expected here.)*
