Understanding Questions

What are we learning today?

You will understand questions about a story and find the answers in the text.

Explanation

• Look at the question word first.
• "Who" asks about a person. "What" asks about a thing.
• "Where" asks about a place. "When" asks about time.
• A question with "Did" needs a yes or no answer.
• In a true or false task, decide if the sentence matches the text.
• "What do you think?" asks for your own idea.

Examples

1. Who was Watson looking for? A secret man.
2. Did Watson find a note? Yes, he did.
3. Where did he sit? In a dark corner.

Remember!

• Read the question twice and find the key word.
• Check the text before you answer.
