Las WH-Question Words son partículas interrogativas que utilizamos para hacer
preguntas en inglés. Suelen causar mucha confusión a principiantes ya que se escriben de
manera muy similar [empiezan por wh- (.who, where) o contienen wh (HoW)]. Éstas son:

WHO, WHOSE, WHAT, WHICH, WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW

WHO > Se utiliza para preguntar por alguien y significa "quién" o "quienes".
Who ate the cake? (¿Quién se comió la tarta?)
Who did you see yesterday? (¿A quién viste ayer?)
Who were those men you were with? (¿Quienes eran esos hombres con los que estabas?)

WHOSE > se utiliza para expresar posesión en forma de pregunta y significa "de quién" o
"de quienes".

What colour are her eyes? (¿De qué color son sus ojos?)
What time is it? (¿Qué hora es?)

WHICH > suele confundirse con what ya que también significa "qué" o "cuál". La diferencia
es que which se utiliza para preguntar por algo cuando hay varias opciones.

las cuatro)
We can take bus 10, 20 or 25. Which goes to the city centre? (Podemos coger el autobús
