Hello and welcome back to "English Today", the
only live TV programmer where you can learn the English language.
Now did you see that last episode of "That's life!"? Do you ever
have that problem in the morning? You know... you... get up and you
can't find anything? Yeah? Me too.
Now in that episode there were a lot of
questions, and that's what I'd like to do with you now... Look in
particular at "question words", the words that we put at beginning
of questions. OK? And we need to look at the screen in order to do
that. Now the most important question words in English are: where,
what, who, when, why, what time, how, and which. Let's look at
those individually now.
What? Well... let's start with: "where". Now
"where" is a question word which we use for a place. For example
Anne said: "Where's my watch?", she said: "Where are my keys?" and
Jack said "Where's my sweater?". Alright? So... "where"... next
one!
"what"... "what" is used for things. For example
I ask: "What is your job?" Well... I'm a teacher, what is your
job?
OK? Next one: "who"... "who" is a question word
that we use for people. So for example I ask: "Who's your favorite
person?". Well my favorite person is my godmother. Who's your
favorite person?
OK? Next "when"... "when" is a question word
that we use with... the time or with a date. For example, so
"When's your birthday?" You could say, "When's your birthday?".
Well my birthday is April, the second. When is your
birthday?
Good, next one. "Why"... "why" is a question
word we use when we want a reason. So for example: "Why are we
here?". "Why are we here?". Well, we are here to learn
English!
Next thing. "What time" now "what time" is used
when wen want the exact time. So I could ask: "What time is it?".
It's two o'clock, for example. OK? What
time.
"How"... "how" is a question we use when we ask
about the state of things. So for example: "How are you?" I'm fine
thanks.
And the last one is "which", that is a question
word that we use about particular things. For example: "Which
lesson is this?".
Good, so those are the most important English
question words: where, what, who, when, why, what time, how, and
which, OK? Very important words when you're conversing in
English.
Great! Now go and listen to that episode again,
listen for the question words but also listen for some
prepositions. Prepositions for example: "on", "in", "under" and
we'll look at that, in the next lesson, OK? So, see you later,
bye!
