B. MOTIVATION

Class, before we formally start with our

PICK-liwanag mo.”
Instructions:

The teacher posts a picture on the board.

Students will observe the picture. The
teacher plays a music while the students
pass a bowl that has questions regarding the
photo If the music stopped, the one who is
holding the bowl will pick a strip of paper. The
student will answer the question.

The man in the white coat is

Who is the man in front? the doctor, Ma’am.
What is the man in front doing? He is looking at the girl’s
health, Ma’am.

Where do you think the setting of the picture They are in the hospital,
is? Ma’am.

When do you usually see this man? When I feel sick, Ma’am.

talking in front of you?

Very good!

Now, as we go on with our lesson, let us

observe these two rules.
 Raise your hand before you talk
 Respect each other
D. PRESENTATION

Now class, what did you notice with our I observed Ma’am that all
activity? the questions are WH-
questions.
Yes, that’s right. Today, we are going to
discuss how to formulate WH- questions and
how to respond to it.

What are the WH- questions?

Who When

Where What

Why How
When do we use these questions class?
These questions are used
when gathering information,
Ma’am.
That’s right, class! WH-questions ask for
information and we do not expect a yes-no
question, it is an open question. Did you get Yes, Ma’am.
it?

Now, how do we form WH- questions?

We usually form wh-questions with wh- + an

auxiliary verb (be, do, or have) + subject +
main verb

So, what do we mean by auxiliary and modal

verb? Kindly read first what auxiliary verb is? Auxiliary verbs or helping
verbs are used together
with the main verb to show
the verbs tense or to form a
question, auxiliary verbs
are: be, do, have, will, shall,
would, should, can, could,
may, might, must, ought,
Okay, who can give me a sentence that has etc.
an auxiliary verb?

Did you understand it now, class? (Students’ answers vary)

With that, let’s have an example.

Yes, Ma’am.
“When are you leaving?”

In the first example, what is the Wh-question

used?
When
How about the auxiliary verb?

What is the subject in that sentence? are

Lastly, what is the main verb? you

Exactly! leaving

So now, let’s discuss the meaning of those

questions and afterwards, you will give your
own examples.
