Corrections — Day 4 (WH Questions)

🎯 Purpose of Day 4 Corrections

Learners often know how to ask Yes / No questions, but make mistakes while asking WH questions.

👉 Day 4 helps you ask detailed questions correctly.

Core Rule (Never Forget)

WH Word + am / is / are + subject + verb + ing ?

⚠️ Do NOT remove the helping verb.

❌❌ Common Wrong Questions → ✅ Correct Questions

❌ What you doing now?
✅ What are you doing now?
❌ Where she going?
✅ Where is she going?
❌ Why he working late?
✅ Why is he working late?
❌ When they coming?
✅ When are they coming?
❌ How you learning English?
✅ How are you learning English?

Why These Mistakes Happen

Learners forget am / is / are
They speak like statements
They translate directly from mother tongue

👉 Solution: WH word + helping verb first.

Special Case — WHO

When WHO is the subject, do not change the order.

❌ Who are working now?
✅ Who is working now?
❌ Who are speaking?
✅ Who is speaking?

Compare & Understand

Wrong	Correct
What she doing?	What is she doing?
Where they working?	Where are they working?

Spoken English Tip

Fluent speakers always keep the helping verb:

What are you doing?
Where is he going?
Why are they waiting?

👉 Never drop am / is / are while speaking.

Practice (Correct the Question)

What you watching now?
Where she working today?
Why they shouting?
Who speaking loudly?

(Try correcting before checking)
