Difference between Who, What, Where and When, Why questions (Grade 2 focus)

Question

Hey everyone! 👋 I sometimes get a little mixed up with when to use 'Who' or 'What' or 'Where' when I'm asking questions. It feels like there are so many different ways to ask things! Can you help me understand the main differences between Who, What, Where, When, and Why questions, especially for a second grader? I want to make sure I'm asking the right questions and understanding the answers. Thanks a bunch! 🙏
