Here are the questions for the italicized words in each sentence, following the rules of English question formation as outlined by Useful English and Oxford House:

  1. When will the letter be answered?
    • (Context: "Tomorrow" is an adverb of time, so we use the question word "when".)
  2. What were they shown?
    • (Context: "Places of interest" acts as the object of the sentence; we use "what" to ask about things.)
  3. Where is wheat grown?
    • (Context: "In each of these regions" indicates a location, requiring the question word "where".)
  4. When was this town founded?
    • (Context: "In the 15th centuries" specifies a time period, so "when" is used.)
  5. Where are water-power stations being built?
    • (Context: "On the mountain rivers" is a place adjunct, so "where" is the appropriate question word.)
  6. When was she told the news?
    • (Context: "When she came" is a temporal clause, requiring "when" for the main question.)
  7. What is being much spoken about?
    • (Context: "The film" is the subject of the passive construction. We use "what" to ask about the subject when it is a thing.)

Note on Structure: In most cases, the auxiliary verb (will, were, is, was, are) moves before the subject to form the question (inversion), except when asking directly about the subject itself, as seen in British Council's grammar guide. Would you like to practice forming subject questions or object questions for other tenses?
