English Exercises: Wh-questions - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet focused on teaching and practicing the use of question words — *what, where, when, who* — in English. This is typically used in language learning for beginners or young learners.

Let’s go through each section of the worksheet and solve it step by step.

---

Section A: Complete the questions with *where*, *when*, *what*, or *who*. Then write answers about you.

We need to choose the correct question word and then answer based on personal information.

1. ______ is your name?
→ Who is your name?
→ *Answer:* My name is [Your Name].

2. ______ is your job?
→ What is your job?
→ *Answer:* I am a student / teacher / doctor, etc.

3. ______ is your birthday?
→ When is your birthday?
→ *Answer:* My birthday is on [Date].

4. ______ are you from?
→ Where are you from?
→ *Answer:* I am from [Country/City].

5. ______ is the president of your country?
→ Who is the president of your country?
→ *Answer:* The president is [Name].

---

Section B: Look at the answers and complete the questions.

We are given answers and must form appropriate questions using *what, where, when, who*.

1. The Hamptons – it's a museum.
→ What is the Hamptons?
*(Because the answer describes what it is.)*

2. The capital of Nigeria – it's Abuja.
→ Where is the capital of Nigeria?
*(Because we're asking about location.)*

3. Spain (Hawaii) – yes, it's rainy.
→ Is it rainy in Spain? → But the answer says "yes, it's rainy" and mentions Hawaii.
Actually, this seems confusing. Let's interpret:
If the answer is “Yes, it's rainy” and refers to Spain/Hawaii, likely the question is:
→ Is it rainy in Spain? or Is it rainy in Hawaii?
But since both places are listed, perhaps it's meant to be:
→ Is it rainy in Spain? → Yes, it's rainy.
Or maybe: Is it rainy in Hawaii? → No, but the answer says yes.
Likely typo or confusion. Best interpretation:
→ Is it rainy in Spain?
*(But note: the answer says “Spain (Hawaii)” — possibly a mistake. We’ll assume it's about Spain.)*

4. The Colosseum – it's a university.
→ What is the Colosseum?
*(Wait — actually, the Colosseum is an amphitheater, not a university. So this is incorrect. But based on the answer, the expected question is: What is the Colosseum?)*
→ What is the Colosseum?

5. The Ance Mountain – they’re in South Africa.
→ Where are the Ance Mountains?
*(Note: There may be a spelling error — probably “Drakensberg Mountains” or similar. But based on the answer, we ask about location.)*

6. In England – it's independent.
→ Where is it independent?
→ But better phrasing: Where is it independent? → In England.
Alternatively: Is England independent? → Yes, it is.
But the answer says “in England – it's independent.”
So likely: Where is it independent? → In England.
Or: Is England independent? → Yes, it is.
Since the answer gives a place and a state, the best fit is:
→ Where is it independent?
But that sounds odd. Perhaps: Is England independent? → Yes, it is.
But the answer starts with “In England,” so likely the question is:
→ Where is it independent? → In England.
That’s awkward. Maybe it should be:
→ Is England independent? → Yes, it is.
But the prompt says “look at the answers,” so we match the structure.
Given “In England – it's independent,” the most logical question is:
→ Where is it independent? → In England.
Though grammatically odd, we go with it.

7. I’m a teacher.
→ What do you do? or What is your job?
→ What do you do?

8. My math test is on Tuesday.
→ When is your math test?

9. My name is Ann.
→ Who is your name? → But better: What is your name?
However, the question word must be chosen from the list: *what, where, when, who*.
So: Who is your name? — is not natural.
But in some contexts, “Who is your name?” is accepted informally.
Actually, the correct question is What is your name?
But if only those four words are allowed, and we have to pick one, Who might be expected here, even though it's technically wrong.
However, standard English uses What for names:
→ What is your name?
So likely, the intended question is: What is your name?
But if the exercise forces *who*, then: Who is your name? — which is incorrect.
Probably a mistake in design. Best answer: What is your name?

10. The station is over the park.
→ Where is the station?

11. He is my favourite actor.
→ Who is your favourite actor?

12. I’m a teacher.
→ What do you do? or What is your job?
→ What is your job?

Notes:

- Some of the answers in Section B contain factual errors (e.g., the Colosseum is not a university; the Ance Mountains aren't real).
- The sentence “In England – it's independent” is poorly structured. It should be “England is independent.”
- The use of “Who is your name?” is grammatically incorrect; it should be “What is your name?”

Recommendation for Teaching:

This worksheet is good for practicing question words, but teachers should clarify:
- Use what for jobs, names, things.
- Use where for locations.
- Use when for time.
- Use who for people (not names).

Also, correct any factual inaccuracies in the examples.
