You have encountered nearly all of the 
interrogatives
commonly used in German (review

1-2
):
wann
when

um
why

wieviel
how much

wo

In a question, interrogatives replace the unknown object and establish the class of answer expected.
Was haben Sie?
What do you have?
(Expected is a 'thing')
Wieviel Arbeit ist zu viel?
How much work is too 
much?
(Expected is a 'quantity')
Wann gehst du nach Hause?
When do you go home?
(Expected is a sense of 'time')
Wo ist der Zürichsee?
Where is Lake Zurich?
(Expected is a 'place')
Note that the English construction for some of the questions differs from the German in that the former 
uses the progressive form of "do".

) lesson to summarize the German language lessons presented in 
Lessons 1 through 4. You should, then, return to

advanced lessons into this "review" process. That is: review Lesson 1, then do Lesson 1A, review 
Lesson 2, then do Lesson 2A, etc.
