对某一成分提问的句子叫特殊疑问句。常用的特殊疑问词有：what, who, whose, which, when, where, how, why等。

当特殊疑问词做主语时（即对主语进行提问），此时语序与陈述句语序一致。例如，Who saw you?
对其它成分做出提问时，特殊疑问句的构成是特殊疑问词 + be/助动词/情态动词 + 主语 + 谓语。例如，Who did you see at the cafe?
- How many people saw you there? (对主语提问)
- Where is the restaurant? (对地点提问)
- Why does she want to leave? (对原因提问)
- How long did you stay there? (对时长提问)

注：与特殊疑问句相对的是 一般疑问句，即general questions，也叫 yes-no questions，表示使用Yes或者No回答。
