'What' refers to the subject of your query. Decide what you wish to know and this will make your question more clear as well as impress the person you're asking the question from. But don't forget to shape your 'When' too, make sure you ask the questions at the right time, asking unnecessary questions during a sensitive situation won't exactly help you earn any points.
'How' is an important one. Asking 'Yes/No' questions are good to ask when you need a quick response but open-end questions are the best ones especially when you want to keep the conversation going and need more details. How also counts as listening carefully before coming up with a follow-up question.
