About this lesson
In this lesson you will learn the eight question words in English and how to use them correctly. You will build the skills to ask questions with the verb to be in a range of everyday situations. Through an authentic dialogue from a computer club, you will practise expressions such as “What's your name?”, “How old are you?” and “Which computer is for me?”. We will also look at the important rule about word order – when the question word asks a question and when it has an explanatory role. The interactive exercises will prepare you to communicate confidently in English in a real context.
