Writing Question Words

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is an educational resource designed to enhance the language skills of students, specifically in the area of formulating questions. It features a series of incomplete sentences that are structured to form questions, each missing a question word at the beginning. The student’s task is to write the correct question word from the provided list—’who,’ ‘what,’ ‘where,’ ‘when,’ ‘why’—to complete each sentence. The theme of the questions is related to school, as indicated by the content of the sentences and the accompanying illustration of a child at a desk.

The aim of this worksheet is to reinforce students’ understanding of how to use different question words appropriately in context. It challenges students to think about what information is being sought in each sentence and to choose the question word that best elicits that information. This exercise helps students to differentiate between ‘who’ for people, ‘what’ for objects or activities, ‘where’ for places, ‘when’ for time, and ‘why’ for reasons, thereby strengthening their grammatical skills. By completing this activity, students improve their ability to craft clear and purposeful questions in English.
