Welcome back to English for Finance and Economics. Now that you're an expert on forming the yes, no questions, let's talk about WH questions. They are called WH questions because the questions words that begin a sentence start with either the letter w or the letter h. You know these question words, they are who, what, when, where, why, which, and how. And the less common, whose and how much, and how many. Use who when you want your answer to be a person. Who took my chair? Use what when the answer will be things, ideas, information, or actions. What time is it? That's information. What are you typing? Action. When do you use when? Exactly, for time. Where is used when the answer is a place. Why gives you reasons. Why did you lie about the financial report being completed? Whose is to show possession. Whose expense reports are due? Which gives you choice. Which style of management do you prefer? How is the manner something is done. How do you copy and paste from Excel? We ask how much to show quantity of uncountable nouns, such as how much water should we bring? And how many is also quantity, but it is used for countable nouns, like how many agendas need to be copied for the meeting? Do you see a pattern in these example sentences? Yes. The question word is always at the front. If the thing or information being asked about is the subject, it's easy to replace it with a question word. If the statement is creation of a crisis management team needs planning, and you need to make it a question, it could be what needs planning? When talking about the office dental giveaways, Katherine asked Jake, what other companies have used this strategy? To make a question using the predicate pattern, first form a yes/no question, then add the appropriate WH word to the beginning of the sentence. Do you remember how we formed those yes/no questions? We first look for a to be verb and pop it out to the front of the pack. If there's no to be verb, we use do, or another auxiliary helping verb, like have. Let's take a look at what I mean. Say your sentence or your statement as something like, practice making decisions under stress. Under stress is after the verb. So it is in the predicate part of the sentence. Let's first make it a yes no question. Does making decisions under stress need practice? Yes. Now add those WH words. When does making decisions under stress need practice? How is making decisions under stress practiced? Why is making decisions under stress practiced? Each answer will be different because each WH word has a different purpose but no answer will be yes or no. After Katherine asked Jake about what strategy he'd use, she follows up with, how do you know the strategy will work? What is the yes no question she initially used? Do you know the strategy will work? Now you try. Here's your statement. For each giveaway, Biodent expects to get 12 customers. Make it a question using how many. This skill requires a lot of practice. Over time, you'll see how these questions form in your mind naturally. Don't give up. What are the takeaways from this lesson? WH question words include using who to ask about people, what for things, ideas, information ,or actions. When, for time. Where, when the answer is a place. Why for reasons. Who's for possession. Which for choice. How is the manner something is done. How much and how many are used for quantities. These WH question words go at the beginning of a sentence. If the thing or information being asked about is in the subject of the sentence, replace the subject with a question. Tom is at the budgeting meeting, becomes who is at the budgeting meeting? But if the information being asked is in the predicate of a sentence. Such as, he understands augmentation. First make the statement into a yes/no question using a to be the verb or a helping verb. Most commonly do, does, or did. Does he understand? Then, add your WH question word to the front. What does he understand? Hopefully, this introduction to WH question formation has made you aware of how questions are created. As always, thanks for watching English for Finance and Economics.
