Open-Ended Questions
Open-ended questions are designed to encourage more detailed and expressive responses. They cannot be answered
with just a "yes" or "no" and often require more thought and explanation. Examples:
• What do you think about the new project?
• How did you feel about the movie?
• Can you tell me about your favorite vacation?
Framing Open-ended Questions
Some questions are called open-ended because their answers are not limited or closed. They have to be answered
with more information than just a "yes" or a "no". We can form open-ended questions by using question words, such
as What, Why, Who, How, When and Where. For example:
Original Statement With 5W+1H

She bought groceries. What groceries did she buy?
They moved to a new city. When did they decide to move to a new city?
He completed the project ahead of schedule. How did he complete the project ahead of
