Questions with what, when, where, which, who(m), whose, why,
how request specific information about something, and the circumstances
surrounding actions and events (e.g. time, manner, place).The anticipated
response to such questions is not yes or no, but information which provides the
missing content of the wh-word:[discussing a new type of cooking grill]
Whose turn is it to wash up?
How are you feeling?
A wh-question may include an emphatic do-auxiliary. In
speech, the auxiliary is stressed. Such questions often occur in contexts where
the asker feels they have not been given information they wanted or
expected.
Non-emphatic wh-questions do not use auxiliary do when the wh-word is
the subject. Emphatic wh-questions involve do-auxiliary even when the wh-word
is the subject of the verb:
Who wants coffee?(non-emphatic) (Who does want
coffee?)
What did happen in the end? (emphatic)
A: There was hardly anybody
there.B: Oh really? Who did turn
up?(emphatic)
