About Direct Questions, Indirect Questions, Wh Questions
Hi,
I'm Asrar. I want to know the followings-
1. The Structure of Wh questions in details.
2. The Structure of Direct questions in details.
3.The Structure of Indirect questions in details.
I think a particular "Wh-" word(s) can be used for a particular verb. For instance:
# You live in NY.
Here NY is a place. So, i can use "WHERE" to ask question.
#Where do you live?
but in this case i can't use "WHAT","WHICH". But "WHY","HOW" can be used with any verbs.
I'm confused!
So, from the information above, am I right?
Please let me know

It’s not the “wh-word” that limits its use; it’s the meaning of what you want to say that restricts the use of such word. ” but then your questions would not make any sense. On the other hand, “why” and “how” questions always make sense.

You could always say, “what do you live?” or “which do you live?” but then your questions would not make any sense.
On the other hand, “why” and “how” questions always make sense.
