The Pashto language has a question structure consisting of a WH-word and an answer to the question, this is called WH-structure. The resolution of ellipsis occurs in most cases in both written and spoken language in its WH construction. In this term paper, I would like to talk more about the first structure-based rule in Pashto language in the WH construction. The algorithm resolves the ellipsis occurring in the answers to the WH questions by using the syntactic and morphological information of the two questions and their correspondence with the answer. The algorithm determines exactly the ellipses that occur in the answers to the questions that contain WH words. For example: (( څوکWho-Dir), ( چاWho-Obl), ( څهWhat), کوم(Which), ( چرتهWhere) and ( څومرهHow much))) between them. The algorithm was tested on various real texts in the Pashto language, taken from numerous genres such as books, novels, newspapers and online magazines. The algorithm achieved an accuracy of 76 percent
