Forming a Which Question
- 'Which' is used to ask a question when there is a limited number of items to choose from.
- For 'which is…' questions, place "which" before the verb "is" and then add your subject.
- In an object question with 'which', use the form: "Which" + helping verb ("do" or "does") + subject + verb ?
- You can put a noun after "Which" to narrow down the choices. E.g. "Which book do you like?"
The question "Which" is used when you want someone to pick something from a list of choices.
Simple "Which is ..." Question
We can ask a simple "Which is ..." question. This is when you want someone to choose from a list of possible choices.
Examples:
-
Which is your book?
Question word ("Which") + be verb ("is") + subject complement ("your book")?
Which is your favorite food, donuts or tacos?
Here, you want someone to choose from "donuts" and "tacos".
'Which' in an Object Question
'Which' can also be used in an object question to ask someone to make a choice from a set of objects.
The form is: "Which" + helping verb ("do" or "does") + subject + verb ?
You can also put a noun after "Which" to narrow down the choices.
Examples:
-
Which book do you like?
Question words ("Which book") + helping verb ("do") + subject ("you") + verb ("like") ?
Note: we are only asking about "book". You want someone to choose a book.
-
Which car do you drive, the red car or the blue car?
Question words ("Which car") + helping verb ("do") + subject ("you") + verb ("drive") ?
Note: we are only asking about "car". Also, you are giving someone a choice between "the red car" and "the blue car".
