Step-by-step solution for: Pin on ingles
Let's solve this step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with appropriate WH-family words (such as *what, where, when, why, who, how, which, whose, how many, etc.*) to form correct and meaningful questions.
We'll go through each sentence one by one and determine the most logical WH-word based on the context.
---
1. ______ are you doing?
→ This asks about an action or activity.
✔ What are you doing?
*(Common question about current activity)*
2. ______ are you?
→ This asks about identity or state of being.
✔ Who are you?
*(Asking about a person’s identity)*
3. ______ is this possible?
→ This asks for a reason or explanation.
✔ Why is this possible?
*(Asking for cause/reason)*
4. ______ is he?
→ This could be asking about his identity or condition. But since it's "is he?", it likely refers to identity.
✔ Who is he?
*(Asking who the person is)*
5. ______ is he going?
→ This asks about direction or destination.
✔ Where is he going?
*(Asking about location)*
6. ______ is looking after this?
→ This asks about the person responsible.
✔ Who is looking after this?
*(Asking about a person)*
7. ______ are you coming?
→ This asks about time.
✔ When are you coming?
*(Asking about time)*
8. ______ will I reach?
→ This asks about destination.
✔ Where will I reach?
*(Asking about place)*
9. ______ is she?
→ Similar to #4 — asking about identity or state.
✔ Who is she?
*(Most common interpretation: asking identity)*
10. ______ do you live?
→ This asks about place of residence.
✔ Where do you live?
*(Standard question about location)*
11. ______ are you going to do this?
→ This asks about the method or reason.
✔ Why are you going to do this?
*(Asking for motivation or reason)*
*Alternatively, "How" could fit if asking about method, but "why" fits better here in typical usage.*
→ But let's consider:
- "How" = method ("How are you going to do this?")
- "Why" = purpose ("Why are you going to do this?")
Both are possible, but "Why" is more natural in this context unless specified otherwise.
However, sometimes “how” is used for method.
Let’s check grammar:
- "How are you going to do this?" → asks about method → very common
- "Why are you going to do this?" → asks about reason → also common
But the blank is before “are you going to do this?” — both work, but "How" is slightly more likely if focusing on process.
Wait — actually, both are grammatically correct, but the intended answer depends on context.
Given that “how” is often used with “going to do,” and “why” is more abstract, we need to decide.
But in standard English exercises like this, “How” is typically expected here:
✔ How are you going to do this?
So:
→ How are you going to do this? (method)
12. ______ will you go?
→ Asks about destination or time.
- "Where" = place
- "When" = time
But "will you go" suggests future action — likely asking where.
✔ Where will you go?
*(Asking about destination)*
