\nUnderstanding question words is important for listening on the TOEFL. It can be even more important on the IELTS interview or in a job interview.<\/p>\n

Recognizing spoken\u00a0English\u00a0question helps you understand what will be said next, and helps you reply intelligently to English questioning. The good news is that there are only six commonly-used question words in English. The bad news is that these words sound very similar to each other.<\/p>\n

Yes,\u00a0who<\/em>,\u00a0what<\/em>,\u00a0when<\/em>,\u00a0where,<\/em>\u00a0why<\/em>, and\u00a0how\u00a0<\/em>sound alike. Fortunately, with a word list this short, you can learn to distinguish the question words with just a little practice. I’ve already given you some practice with the first TOEFL Listening Quiz on English question words<\/a>. In that quiz, you can practice comparing the question words directly, hearing them spoken one after another. In this quiz, we’ll look at how the question words sound in complete sentences.<\/p>\n

How to use the results of this quiz<\/h2>\n

This quiz is harder than the previous one — like the first quiz I gave you, there’s still no real context for the question words. And now the words are in connected speech, which makes them less distinct. Still, with some basic English skills, you should have gotten at least half of these answers right.<\/p>\n

If you\u00a0correctly matched at least 7 of the tracks to their lettered sentence, you’re at the high beginner level for English question words. If you got 9 tracks right, your level is high intermediate. If you got 10 or more tracks right, you are in the advanced to proficient range.<\/p>\n

Of course, the real test is whether or not you can correctly hear English question words in context. Recognizing English question words in conversations is the skill you need for the TOEFL… and for real-life English use.
