In this lesson we will learn how the form a sentence with WH words when the question word is the subject (thing being talked about) of the sentence.
Example:
What killed the plant?
When did he speak?
Which plastic shoe?
Who passed here?
Trinidad French Creole equivalent.
What ---> ki sa ki
When ---> kilè ki, or what + time + ki
Which ---> ki (subject) ki
Who ---> (which one of) kilès ki
