Information Question (5W+1H)
One of the most universally used tools for information gathering, analysis, organization and presentation is the 5W1H framework. This method is used across a range of professions, from process analysts to quality engineers to journalists, to understand and explain virtually any problem or issue. The same method can be used to organize the writing of reports, articles, white papers, and even whole books.

The Basic Approach
This approach seeks to answer six basic questions in gathering information about nearly any subject: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Sometimes, depending on the context, a second "H" might be used: How Much.
In journalism, news story writing requires that the questions to be answered take a basic form:          
1. Who is it about?
2. What is it about?
3. When did it happen?
4.  Where did it happen?
5.  Why did it happen?
6.  How did it happen?
Applying the 5W1H framework to other types of writing or investigation takes some interpretation. The order in which the answers to the questions is presented may vary, but the "what" is usually addressed first.

·         What
In journalism, the "what" identifies an event and is often stated in the "lead (or lede)," the first paragraph of a news story. The "what" is the primary subject, the reason the information is being gathered and presented. Apart from journalism, it may be stated in a title and in a purpose statement. The "what" may need to be defined, a process that may comprise the remainder of a document.
Example :    What, specifically,...?

·         Who
A news story identifies who an event involves. The "who" may be part of the lede, and could be the reason the story is news worthy. In other contexts, the "who" identifies the persons or groups the "what" concerns. It might describe the audience of a document, or those who are affected by a policy, process or procedure.
Example :    Who benefits?

·         When
A key part of a news story is describing when an event happened. Answering the "when" indicates any time sensitivity related to the "what." It may be part of an instruction regarding the proper point at which a action should be taken. Sometimes it may be part of an "If...then" scenario of conditional action.
Example :    When will it start/end?

·         Where
A news story reports the location at which an event took place. The "where" describes a geographical or physical location of importance to the "what." At times, the where may be less important than other factors.
Example :    Where are you?
·         Why
The "why" is usually the most neglected of the questions in the framework. News stories often lack information from authoritative sources to explain the "why." In other contexts, the "why" may be considered irrelevant, particularly when describing a policy or procedure decreed by an organizational authority. Efforts to ascertain and explain the "why" may help those affected be more accepting of any change the "what" requires.
Example :    Why does that happen?

·         How
For journalists, determining how an event took place may be nearly as challenging as explaining the "why," although more effort is usually put to satisfying the question. When describing policies, processes or procedures, the how may be the most important part of the effort. A considerable appetite for understanding how to do something can be found across audiences. Sometimes effort focuses on the "what" when more work should be devoted to explaining the "how."
Example :    How much?

Yes/No Questions

The answers for simple questions in English are "Yes,","No," or "I don't know" (or its equivalent). The answers for information questions are varied--because they are used to ask about specific kinds of information.
There are 2 types of interrogative sentence in English (question words), namely:  
a.       The WH question words 
b.      Yes or no questions

Yes-no question can be made by changing the declarative sentence (statement). You have to know which one subject, the main verb (not followed by any verb), and helping / auxiliary verb (primary auxiliary verb / capital). Brief explanation is as follows.

Tag Questions 

A question tag or tag question (also known as tail question) is a grammatical structure in which a declarative statement or an imperative is turned into a question by adding an interrogative fragment (the "tag"). For example, in the sentence "You're John, aren't you?", the statement "You're John" is turned into a question by the tag "aren't you". The term "question tag" is generally preferred by British grammarians, while their American counterparts prefer "tag question".
