疑问副词

疑问副词 why丶where丶how丶when 等,会放在句首。这些问句的回答可以是完整的句子,也可以只用介词片语回答。在疑问副词形成的问句上,必须将主词和动词的位置互调,也就是说动词会先出现。

举例
  • Why are you so late? There was a lot of traffic.
  • Where is my passport? In the drawer.
  • How are you? I'm fine.
  • When does the train arrive? At 11:15.
how 的使用

用 how 形成问句的方法有四种;而单独用 how 则是意指「以何种方式」。

举例
  • How did you make this sauce?
  • How do you start the car?
  • How can I get to your house?

how 可以和形容词连用来询问某个特性的程度。

举例
  • How tall are you?
  • How old is your house?
  • How angry is mother?

how 可以和 much 或 many 连用来询问数量。much 后面接的是不可数名词,而 many 接的是可数名词。

举例
  • How many people are coming to the party?
  • How much flour do I need?
  • How much are these tomatoes?

how 可以和其他副词连用来询问某个动作的频率或程度。

举例
  • How quickly can you read this?
  • How often do you go to London?
  • How loudly does your brother scream?
