Tips
- Always put the question word at the beginning of the question.
- Use the correct auxiliary verb after the question word (like 'do', 'does', 'is', 'are').
- Do not use a question word if you only want a yes or no answer.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Sometimes, 'how' can be used with other words, like 'how old', 'how many', or 'how much'.
