I delight in
What do I intend to find this time?
Run around!
Jumping down!
Bounce and bound and
Find another way to duck and hide
This isle of dreams.

Usamos las palabras WH para formar preguntas, por eso también se llaman, como en español "palabras interrogativas":

WHO? - para personas: ¿QUIÉN?
WHAT? - para cosas: ¿QUÉ? (a veces se traduce por ¿CUÁL?)
WHICH? - para cosas: (elección) ¿CUÁL?
(a veces se traduce por¿QUÉ?)
WHERE? - para lugares: ¿DÓNDE?
WHEN? - para tiempo: ¿CUÁNDO?
WHY? - para razones: ¿POR QUÉ?
HOW? - para modos: ¿CÓMO?

Ejemplos:
- Who are you? - I'm Tom = ¿Quién eres? - Soy Tom.
- What's that? - That's a dog = ¿Qué es eso? - Eso es un perro.
- Which ball do you want? - I want the red one = ¿Qué pelota quieres? - Quiero la roja.
- Where do you live? - I live in London = ¿Dónde vives? - Vivo en Londres.
- When do you go to school? - I go to school on Mondays = ¿Cuándo vas a la escuela? - Voy a la escuela los lunes.
- Why do you like this? - Because it's very nice = ¿Por qué te gusta esto? - Porque es muy bonito.
- How do you like your beer? - I like it cold = ¿Como te gusta la cerveza? - Me gusta fría.
