What is a "wh-word"?
A wh-word is a type of word used in questions and relative clauses that typically begins with "wh," such as "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," and "how." These words serve to introduce questions or clauses that seek specific information. For example, in the question "What is your name?" the wh-word "what" prompts the listener to provide specific information about their name. In relative clauses, wh-words like "who" and "which" help to give more information about a noun, as in "The person who called you is waiting." Understanding wh-words is important for forming questions and creating more complex sentences that provide additional detail.
