Speaker who want to show surprise, shock, disbelief, etc., can use a high-rising pitch on a wh- question.

Asking "What time's the meeting?" with a high-rising pitch is showing surprise. Perhaps the meeting is being held very early, or very late, or at a time that conflicts with another event. The listener will know, based on pitch, that the speaker is not purely asking to know when the meeting is scheduled, but is also adding clues about their own perspective of the subject.

Notice that the question word itself was stressed more in the questions that are showing surprise, shock, and disbelief.

Grammar explanation

To make questions, we often put the verb before the subject. This is called inversion.

If there is a question word ( why, what, where, how, etc.), it goes before the verb.

This is true for sentences with be, sentences that have auxiliary verbs (e.g. They are waiting. She has finished.) and sentences with modal verbs ( can, will, should, might, etc.).

Questions in the present simple and past simple

For other verbs in the present simple, we use the auxiliary verb do/ does in the question.

We use the auxiliary verb did in the past simple.

Subject questions

In some questions, who or what is the subject of the verb. There is no inversion of subject and verb in these questions.
