Welcome to English A1 Q&A Corrections #085.
Lesson overview:
- In this lesson, we practice correcting very common beginner questions and short answers.
- Review from the previous lessons: use short question words, and remember that this/that + is is a strong beginner pattern.
- New focus: what, where, and when.
- Use what for a thing, where for a place, and when for a time.

1) what — wot — asking about a thing
2) where — wair — asking about place
3) when — wen — asking about a time
4) this — dhis — near thing
5) that — dhat — far thing
5 word readings:
