Profession and WH-Question

Beige and Orange Quirky Illustration Sustainable Business Presentation (2)

The descriptions made in introducing family members will be supplemented with the professions of each family member that the students have. Students will learn to recognize the professions of their parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents, and their extended family. The profession described is not only a mention of the profession held but also describes how happy the profession is to carry out, the benefits of the profession held, and its relationship to what exists in daily life.

With this knowledge, students are expected to be able to understand their family members more deeply and appreciate whatever work their family members do. All of this is written together to complete the description of the family tree they created. To find out what professions exist in their environment and what each profession does, students can access the video in the following link, story of profession https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgQf7106-E0

 

Students are also taught to create questions to see the details of events or images they see, or they can also create questions from the text they read. In composing more accurate questions, students can use wh-questions plus how-questions. The explanation of the function of the question is as follows:

  1. Who: “Who” is a question word in English used to ask about the identity of a person or group of people involved in a particular event, activity, or context. “Who” helps us identify relevant people or subjects in a context. For example: Who is he? Who are your parents?
  2. What: “What” is a question word in English used to ask about objects, activities, or concepts that occur or are involved in a particular event, activity, or context. Its function is to obtain information about a specific object, activity, or concept in a conversation or situation. Example sentences: What is your favorite color? What time is it?
  3. When: “When” is a question word in English used to ask about the time or period of time in which an event occurred. Its function is to obtain information about a specific time or period in a conversation or situation, and to help us understand the sequence or schedule of events. Example sentences: When is your birthday? When did you arrive in Jakarta?
  4. Where: “Where” is a question word in English used to ask about the location or place where an event occurred, in a conversation or situation. Example sentences: Where is the nearest hospital? Where did you go on vacation last year?
  5. Why: This word is used to ask about the reason behind an event, action, occurrence, or situation. So, when we want to know why something happened or why someone did something, we can ask “why.” Example sentences: Why did you come to the party? Why are you late?
  6. Which: “Which” is a question word in English that helps us choose between several options. Its function is to ask for information about a particular choice from a number of available options, assist us in decision-making, or to identify a specific object or person in a particular situation or context. Example sentences: Which color do you prefer, red or blue? Which book are you reading right now?
  7. Whom: “Whom” is a question word used to ask about the person who the object in a sentence is. Whom helps us determine the relationship between the subject and object in a sentence. Example sentences: Whom did you give the present to? Whom did she invite to the party?
  8. Whose: “Whose” is a question word in English used to ask about ownership or who owns a particular object or thing. Example sentences: Whose book is this? Whose car is parked outside?
