With them you can get any information about anything that you want or need.Open questions are questions that cannot be answered by a simple yes or no.Yes or no answers are given in response to closed questions. Closed questions begin with verbs like do, have, and be.Do you have a dog? Yes.Have you eaten? No.Are you tired? No.Closed questions don't get you much information.Open questions, on the other hand, cannot be answered by yes or no, and get you a lot of information.Ask all of the 5WH questions and you get virtually all the information you need about anything.What can ask about anything.
