Make sure of what is written under.

- The wh- + auxiliary verb + subject + verb? Here the wh- is always a pronoun.
For example: what is she doing for a living?

- The wh- + noun + auxiliary verb + subject + verb? Here the wh- is always a determiner.
For example: what ( kind of ) job is she doing for a living?
