How this list was compiled: Written by hand for this page: 97 questions, each printed with its first word left out and a short answer after it, so that only one of who, what, where, when, why and how fits. The six question words follow Wikipedia's Interrogative word article, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrogative_word, read 2026-09-23. Questions about animals ask what, never who, because many teachers accept either. No person, brand or character is named. Licence: own work

Who what when where why how worksheet sets

Set picks one. Who, what, where (36 questions) has three choices. When, why, how (39) adds how many and how far. All six (22) gives four choices from all six words.

Match the answer to the word

A person answers who, a thing what, a place where, a time when, a reason why (it often starts with because), and a way or an amount how.

  • Animals are asked about with what, never who, since classes differ on who for a pet.

Questions and answers

What are wh questions?

Questions that start with a question word: who, what, where, when, why or how. They ask for information, so they cannot be answered with yes or no.

What grade learns wh questions?

The Common Core asks kindergartners to understand and use question words such as who, what, where, when, why and how (L.K.1d). The Who, what, where set suits them read aloud.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It prints as the last page unless you untick Add an answer key as the last page under More options. It circles the right question word for every question of the sheet you print.
