Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: forming specific questions from missing information

1

You know a class trip is planned, but not the place. Write a question.

2

You know a friend has a pet, but not its name. Ask for the name.

3

Change this statement into a question: The bus leaves at nine.

4

Write a question that asks why a seed needs water.

5

Read: Where is your book. Correct the ending punctuation.

6

Ask an adult one of your questions. Write the new information you learn.

Grown-up guide
  1. Identify the missing information before choosing a question word.
  2. Read the question aloud to check that it can be answered.
  3. Point out the question mark after the meaning is clear.
