Usually the " wh questions" are used to quick questions when we get information
from someone or some where. But we can also use the " wh words " to make
more elaborate questions. For instanció:

 What is the account number? = ¿Cuál es el número de la cuenta?

 When is this payment due? = ¿Cuándo se vence este pago?
 Where is this place? = ¿Dónde queda este sitio?
 LAS WH questions son estas: 

WHat - que 
WHen - cuando 
WHere - donde 
WHo - quien 
WHy - por que 

those that begin with WH as there are others that are

considered WH questions but not as wh ... How - how their
use is to ask questions and always goes a WH question ahead
of the question ... an example
Why are you going out tonight? porque sales esta noche?
