用疑问代词的问句

Questions with interrogative pronouns

The word order of questions with interrogative pronouns “谁/什么/什么时候/什么地方/怎么样” (who/what/when/where/how) is the same as that of the declarative sentence. To replace that part of a declarative sentence for questioning by an interrogative pronoun will result in an interrogative sentence.

For example:

什么时候考试？

When will you have your exam?

在哪吃饭?

Where do you have lunch?
