B. Questions with who, what, and which. Who, what and which can
act as the subject of the sentence, so there is no need for an extra
auxiliary verb. Normal subject-verb word order is used. Simply replace
the subject with who (for people), what (for things) or which + a noun.
You will write a riddle for each problem.
Example: A sponge is full of holes and holds water.
What is full of holes and holds water?
1. A barber shaves many times a day and still has a beard.
2. A bed is full at night and empty in the daytime.
3. A night watchman earns a living without a day’s work.
4. A road runs up the hill and down the hill, but always stands still.
5. A secret is too much for one, enough for
two, but nothing at all for three.
6. A keyhole goes through a door,
but never goes in or comes out.
7. A donkey is the most difficult key to turn. (Use which key)
8. A man walks on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon,
and on three legs in the evening.
III. Sentence Construction
Concentration
This is a game you can play with another person. Cut squares of
paper to fit over each box below. Cover each box with a square of
paper. Have a pencil and paper ready to write sentences.
The first player turns over two squares. He reads the words in the
boxes. If they make a riddle and an answer, he writes both parts on his
paper. He leaves the boxes uncovered. If the sentences do not go to -
gether to make a riddle and its answer, he covers them again. (Re -
member what is under each square of paper!) The second player takes
his turn. Continue playing until all the squares are uncovered.
The player with the most riddles on his paper is the winner.
