Wh Question কী


যে question wh word দিয়ে শুরু হয়, তাকে wh question বলে।


Examples:

Where do you live

Why are you late

What do you want

When will he come

How can I help you


এই question-এর answer yes বা no দিয়ে হয় না।

Main Idea


Wh question change করতে হলে:


said to → asked

wh word same থাকবে

Question order → statement order

Pronoun change

Tense backshift

Time/place change if needed

Structure


Reporting part + wh word + statement form

কিন্তু wh question-এ if বা whether ব্যবহার হয় না।

He asked me where I lived.


এখানে where, where-ই আছে।
