    What non-manual signals do you use to ask a who, what, where, when question?

    • Raise eyebrows, lean head forward, hold last sign in sentence.

    • Tilt head, lean head forward, hold last sign in sentence.

    • Lower eyebrows, Lean back, hold last sign in sentence.

Therefore, all of the signals mentioned in this answer are used to ask a who, what, where, when question.
