Wh-questions- worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the right “Wh-” word to fill in the blank.

We have these words to choose from:
who / what / when / where / why / which / how

---

1. ______ time did you wake up?
→ We’re asking about *time*, so we use “What” → “What time...” is a common phrase.

2. ______ is your best friend?
→ We’re asking about a *person*, so we use “Who”.

3. ______ many pencils are there?
→ This is asking about *quantity* — “How many” is the correct phrase.

4. ______ are you from?
→ Asking about *place or origin* → Use “Where”.

5. ______ are you so happy?
→ Asking for a *reason* → Use “Why”.

6. ______ color do you prefer? Red or blue?
→ Choosing between options → Use “Which”.

7. ______ does the train arrive?
→ Asking about *time* → Use “When”.

8. ______ did you go last weekend?
→ Asking about *place* → Use “Where”.

9. ______ does your mother do?
→ Asking about *job or activity* → Use “What”.

10. ______ is his birthday party?
→ Could be asking about *time* or *place*. But since it says “is his birthday party?” without more context, and looking at common usage, this usually asks “When” (what date/time) or sometimes “Where”. But in most school worksheets like this, if it’s just “______ is his birthday party?”, they expect “When” unless specified otherwise. Let’s check: If it were place, it would often say “Where is...?” explicitly. Since no location clue, and birthday parties are often asked about timing → “When”.

Wait — let’s double-check #10. Sometimes “Where is his birthday party?” is also very common. But look at the pattern:

- Q4 and Q8 already used “Where”
- Q1 and Q7 used “What” and “When” for time
- Q10 doesn’t specify, but in everyday speech, people often ask “When is his birthday party?” meaning the date/time.

But actually — both are possible. However, since the worksheet allows reusing words, and “When” fits perfectly here as a time question, we’ll go with “When”.

Alternatively, maybe it’s “Where”? Let’s think again.

Actually, let’s look at all answers together to make sure we’re not missing anything.

Final decision for #10: In many standard worksheets, “______ is his birthday party?” is intended to be “When” — because if it were location, it might say “Where is the party being held?” or similar. So we’ll stick with “When”.
