Question Words

Worksheet Description
This worksheet is a grammatical exercise focused on identifying and using appropriate question words in sentences. It presents students with sentences that contain a blank followed by three possible question words, such as “When / Why / Where are you staying tonight?” The task for the students is to circle the question word that makes the most sense in the context of each sentence. This exercise is designed to improve students’ understanding of interrogatives and their proper usage in forming questions.
The worksheet is teaching students about the function and correct selection of question words, also known as interrogative words, which are used to ask about specific information. Each set of question words presented addresses a different element of information—time, reason, or place—and the students must decide which element is being inquired about in each sentence. This practice helps students to think critically about the nature of the information being requested, thereby enhancing their ability to ask relevant and grammatically correct questions. Understanding how to use these question words correctly is essential for effective communication and is a fundamental skill in language development.
