    Description
    The "grammar" used with wh- questions depends on whether the topic being asked about is the "subject" or "predicate" of a sentence. For the subject pattern, simply replace the person or thing being asked about with the appropriate wh-word. 
    To make a question using the predicate pattern, first form a yes/no question by inverting the subject and (first) auxiliary verb. Then, add the appropriate wh- word to the beginning of the sentence.
      (You will leave some time.)? will you leave
      When will you leave?
      (He is doing something.)? is he doing
      What is he doing?
      (They have been somewhere.)? have they been
      Where have they been?
                If there is no auxiliary and the verb is not "be," add do to the beginning of the sentence. Then add the appropriate wh-question word. Be sure to "transfer" the tense and number from the main verb to the word do.
                  (You want something.)? do you want
                  What do you want?
                  (You went somewhere.)? did you go (past tense)
                  Where did you go?
                  (She likes something.)? does she like (third person -s)
                  What does she like?
                    In English there are seven ‘Wh…’ questions.  Here’s what they are and how  they are used: What is used for a thing.
                    ‘What is it?’
                    Who is used for a person. Whose has the same meaning but it is always followed by a noun.
                                                           
                      ‘Who were you talking to?’
                    ‘Whose car is that?’
                    Why is used for a reason. ‘Why were you late?’
                    When is used for a time or date ‘When did you start working here?’
                    Which is used for a choice. ‘Which do you prefer, tea or coffee?’
                    Where is used for a place. ‘Where do you live?’
                    How is used for an amount or the way. ‘How much does it cost?’ ‘How do I get to the station?
                      (Someone has my baseball.) (Something is bothering you.)Who has my baseball? What is bothering you?
