Question words — who, what, where, when, why and how — each ask for a different kind of answer. Knowing which to use helps children ask good questions and understand what they read.

Each question word has a job
Who asks about a person, where about a place, when about a time, what about a thing, why about a reason and how about the way something happens (or how many).
Questions end with a question mark instead of a full stop. Question Cove checks both the word and the punctuation.
