Examples on interrogative form with WH question

For questions with question words like "what", "where", "when", "who", "how", and "why", the auxiliary verb "be" is used in the present simple tense, not the present continuous tense. For example:

• What am I doing? (in the present simple tense)

• Where is he going? (in the present simple tense)

• When is she coming back? (in the present simple tense)

In these examples, the auxiliary verb "am", "is", or "are" is replaced with "is" in the present simple tense to form the question.
