When is it acceptable to start a sentence using a question word?

I am fairly new to learning Japanese and in a textbook (Japanese from Zero 1) I learned that there are cases when it is acceptable to start a sentence with a question word.

Like this: だれが田中さんですか。

Whatever the reason, I couldn’t understand it in the book’s wordings. So i’d appreciate a clear answer on when it is acceptable to start a sentence with a question word. Thank you:)
