    The key takeaways are that wh-questions seek specific information using interrogative words like what, when, where, who, why and how. They follow an auxiliary verb + subject + verb structure in simple present tense and are different from yes/no questions.

    The different wh-question words are what, when, where, who, whom, whose, which, why and how. They seek information about actions, times, places, people, reasons, things and manners respectively.

    A wh-question in simple present tense uses either 'do' or 'be' as the auxiliary verb followed by the subject and main verb. For example: Where do you work? When is your class?
