Asking and answering questions is fundamental for communication, learning, and problem-solving, involving using question words (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How) to seek information and providing relevant responses to build understanding, develop ideas, and engage with others effectively in various settings like education, reading, and daily interactions. Effective questioning requires clarity and purpose, while answering well means being direct and using complete sentences to satisfy the query.
