Two-word Question Words

Questions are essential part of communication in any language.

If we want to get information or more details we usually place a question word at the beginning of the question. The question word refers to the information that we want to get. For example:

Question word	Information we want to get	Example
Who	person	Who is the man who has long hair?
What	thing	What’s the best place you’ve visited?
Where	place	Where are you from?
When	time	When did you graduate?
Why	reason	Why are you studying English?
*How	manner	How did you like the movie?
