I will collect your sentences and give you someone else’s sentence.You need to find the person who wrote the sentence, but do not ask him or her: Did you use to run 4 miles a day?

Unit 5- Wh questions When we ask wh- questions, we are asking for specific information. What did you do this summer? Things Who is that? Person When did you come to the United States? Time/ date Where did James go? Place How many students came to class? Number Why were you late? reason

Subject In English, we use subjects to show who/ what is doing something or an action. Subjects normally come before verbs. Who ate my ice-cream? -Tina ate your ice-cream. What happened? -A storm happened today (something happened).

Object Sometimes, there are objects in sentences. Objects are usually nouns that have something happening to them. Ex. I love my sister. Martha saw him.What is the subject? What is my verb?What is the verb?What is the object? Ex. Who do you love? What is the subject? Who loves? What is the verb? What is the object?Who gets/ receives my love?

More examples with object What did he say? Subject doing the action= he Verb= say Object= what

Note 2 What is the difference between who and whom? Who is used to talk about a subject. Whom is used to talk about an object. 1. Whom did you meet? 2. Whom is at the door? X 3. Whom gave it to you? X Here, what is the subject? What is the object? 4. Whom did you interview? * Be careful. Whom can be used instead of who in questions about the object that do not use be.

Note 3 To ask more detailed information about people and things, use: Which+ noun (to ask about a choice). wh N V Which witness told the truth? Whose + noun ( to ask about a possession) wh N Aux S V Whose lawyer do you believe? *Note, in this case, do is not a verb, it is an auxiliary verb, so whose lawyer is the object. How many + noun (to ask about quantities) Wh N V How many people saw the trial?

Exercise 1 and 3 in your workbook (pp. 29 and 31).

Note 3 For questions about the subject, use this word order: Wh- word + noun+ verb Which defendant answered best? For questions about the object, use this order. Wh- word + noun + aux + subject + verb Which defendant did you trust more?

Note 3 (Q about Subject) Wh- word + noun+ verb How many students came to class on Thursday? Ex. 12 students came to class on Thursday. S V (Q about the object) Wh- word + noun + aux + subject + verb How many students did you talk to last Thursday? Ex. I talked to 9 students on Thursday. S V O

Note 4 To ask about place, reason and time use Where Why + aux + subject + verb When Where will she go? Why does she want to defend him? When did she arrive? Can you think of your own examples?

Note 5 When the main verb is a form of BE (am, is, are, was, were) use: Wh- word + be +s When is she getting here? Who is the first witness? Where are the witnesses? Or Wh- word + noun + be How many witnesses are there?
