1.The theoric installation of the problems

What are the causes of the wrong answers to the questions related to Wh-

questions? Apart from reasons of teaching and learning as mentioned above, the

analysis of the following grammar will show us "Wh-question" is the kind of

question that is not easy to students of grade 6.

Firstly, students do not understand about the auxiliary verbs. In the framework

of the 6th grade, they just remember a certain number of questions, if we change

a little in question, the students will not know when to use the verb "be", when

to use ordinary verb in the present tense and how to divide verbs in the 3rd

person singular pronoun.

Secondly, "Wh-question" is a question with one subject in which the subject is

often a personal pronoun (except idioms). Thus the answer requires conversion

of the noun being a subject (of a sentence) in question into the personal

pronouns in the answer, or

the personal pronouns to the different personal pronouns for suitable context

(eg: “You” in question but “I” in answer’ or your school can use It to replace,

etc.). It is also very difficult for students if they do not get much exercise.

Thirdly, There is a type of the question to find out information, students are

required to find the exact information needed to answer, but they sometime are

confused, for example putting excess or lack of information, or making a

completely false information, such as "a man ask about chicken, a woman

answer about duck", for example, "How old are you? " - "I am fine, thanks." Or

"What does your father do?”-" He reads

These three issues are crucial and the most difficult for students. Besides

determination of the structure or the tense in question is the problems that 6th

graders students do not usually think about.
