Interrogative words, also known as question words, are words used to ask questions. They are essential in seeking information and gathering details about a particular subject or topic. Some common interrogative words include:
1. Who: Used to inquire about a specific person or people involved in something.
Example: Who is the author of this book?
2. What: Used to gather information about objects, things, or actions.
Example: What is your favorite color?
3. Where: Used to inquire about a place or location.
Example: Where is the nearest library?
4. When: Used to ask about a specific time or time frame.
Example: When is the meeting scheduled?
5. Why: Used to understand the reason or purpose behind something.
Example: Why did you choose that university?
6. How: Used to obtain details about a manner or method.
Example: How do you solve this equation?
Now, regarding suitable activities for learning about these words, here are a few ideas:
1. Word association: Write down each interrogative word on separate index cards. Then, find or create sentences or questions that use these words, and match them with the respective interrogative word. This activity will help you familiarize yourself with the usage and meanings of each word.
2. Question and answer sessions: Engage in conversational exercises with a partner or practice with online language learning platforms that focus on question formation. Ask each other questions using the interrogative words, and answer accordingly. This activity helps reinforce the usage of interrogative words in real-life situations.
3. Reading comprehension: Find articles, books, or news stories that contain questions and interrogative words. Read them, identify the purpose of the questions, and understand how interrogative words are integrated into the text. This will help improve your understanding of how these words are commonly used.
Remember, practice is essential for learning and mastering interrogative words. By incorporating activities that allow you to use these words in different contexts, you can enhance your skills and become more confident in asking questions.
