- In English statements with be, the subject comes before the verb. The pattern is S + V
- In questions, the order of the subject and the verb is reversed V + S
- When a question begins with a Wh- word or How, the pattern is Wh- (How) + V + S
- In questions with question words, the verb is is often contracted, e.g. What's, Where's, Who's. This is especially the case when the subject is a noun, e.g. What's your name?
It is not contracted if it's the subject is a pronoun. E.g. Where are they? NOT Where're they?
Are is NOT contracted after a Wh- word. Where are the students? NOT Where're the students?
