who is singing in the room？
whose bike is broken？
2．如疑問詞作其他成分，即對其他成分提問，其語序是：疑問詞＋壹般疑問句語序？ 如：
what class are you in？
What does she look like？
Where are you from？
What time does he get up every morning？
How do you know？
註意：
1．回答特殊疑問句時，不能用yes ／ no，即問什麽答什麽，尤其是簡略回答。如：

Helen (is)．
Where's the restaurant？
Near the station．
Why do you like koalas？
Because they are cute．
