In everyday business and social situations, it is necessary to ask and answer questions. When participating in a conversation we need to know what information is being discussed in order to ask appropriate questions using the correct 'question words' and to provide correctly structured responses.
We ask questions to obtain specific information. This means that we need to use different 'question words' to receive the type of response we want. We may ask questions to find out about places, people, things, times of events, reasons, amounts, methods, procedures, or other information.
In order to have an effective conversation, we need to know what information is being sought in the questions that are asked. The questioner needs to use the correct 'question words' that point towards what he/she wishes to know. Then the person answering the questions can easily respond with information that relates to the 'question words' being used.
