How to form WH questions? איך מנסחים שאלות We usually form WH questions as follow:
1. WH question + an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb. • When are we leaving? • Where do they live? • What have you bought? 2. Subject questions: when “what, who, (which or whose) is the subject or part of the subject, we don’t use the auxiliary.
WH question + verb (+s/es/ies)
• What makes this noise? • Who writes good compositions?
3. WH question + model verb + subject + main verb. • Where should I put? • When will they arrive?
Negative WH questions מבנה שאלות שלילה - מי לא We use the auxiliary verb “do” when there is no other auxiliary to ask negative WH questions, even when the WH word is the subject of the sentence. • Who wants to participate in the contest? • Who doesn’t want to participate in the contest? • Whose plan worked? • Whose plan didn’t work? • Who shouldn’t come with us?
WH word at the end of a statement We sometimes turn WH question in English into statement questions. We do this, especially when we are checking information that we have already been given, or when we want to quickly check a particular detail. Remember these are less formal than full WH questions. • We are having a match with whom? (More formal than” whom are we having match with?) • You are teaching here till when? (More formal than “till when are you teaching here?)
Using prepositions and particles with WH words
שילוב מילות יחס בשאלות We can use WH words and phrases after prepositions in more formal questions. In addition, in an informal style, especially in speaking, the preposition can be separated and placed at the end of the question clause. • Where are they coming from? מאיפה הם מגיעים? • From where are they coming? (More formal) • Whom should I give it to? למי אני צריך לתת את זה? • To whom should I give it? (More formal)
When we make questions shorter, we usually put the prepositions and its complement together.
שאלות מקוצרות שאינן משפט שלם לדוגמא בדיאלוג הבא: • A: We will go there. • B: For what? Or at what time?
