Grammar
Wh- questions: what, when, why, how, which wh- 疑問文：what, when, why, how, which
Question words go at the very front of the sentence: what, when, why, how, which. With the verb be, they often contract: What's this? (= What is this?) Why is he here? How are you? Which is your bag? "what" asks about a thing, "when" about time, "why" about a reason, "how" about manner or state, "which" picks one from a set. The question word comes first, then be, then the rest — the word order is fixed.
疑問詞は文の一番前に来ます：what, when, why, how, which。be 動詞とよく縮約します：What's this?（= What is this?）Why is he here? How are you? Which is your bag? 「what」は物、「when」は時間、「why」は理由、「how」は方法や状態、「which」は複数の中から一つを尋ねます。疑問詞が先、次に be、その次に残り——語順は固定です。
- What's this? — It's a phone. /wʌts ðɪs ɪts ə foʊn/ これは何ですか？ — 電話です。
- Why is he here? — He is my brother. /waɪ ɪz hiː hɪr hiː ɪz maɪ ˈbrʌðər/ 彼はなぜここにいますか？ — 私の兄弟です。
- Which is your bag? — The new one. /wɪtʃ ɪz jʊər bæɡ ðə nuː wʌn/ どれがあなたのかばんですか？ — 新しいほうです。
- How are you? — I am good, thank you. /haʊ ɑːr juː aɪ æm ɡʊd θæŋk juː/ 元気ですか？ — 元気です、ありがとう。
