In the final article in the series of materials on question words, I will introduce you to the nuances of using the words where, when and how.
If you missed the first two articles in the series, in which I talked about the words and, then you can always find them on the blog.
So let's get to our topic.
Where? - Where?
A question word used when talking about a place:
In some contexts, in combination with verbs of motion (go, fly, run, drive and others), where can mean “to”:
In addition, the word where, combined with the preposition from, which is placed at the end of the question, can change its meaning to “from where”:
If there is a preposition from at the end of a sentence, then you need to immediately pay attention to this and begin the question with the word “from”.
When? - When?
This word is used in questions about time:
When did he finish school? - When did he finish school?
When will you visit us? - When will you visit us?
The question with when can be answered in different ways: specify the exact time, day, month or year. If you need a specific answer, please clarify the question:
What is the date of your birthday? - What is your date of birth?
What year did you move to London? - In what year did you move to London?
If you want to ask “What time is it?” or “What time?”, then you should use What time?:
What time is it? - What time is it now?
What time does the train arrive? - What time does the train arrive?
By the way, I noticed that many people do not know how to speak correctly about time in English, they think for a long time before saying what time it is. If you are also not sure that you remember how to talk about time in English, then I recommend that you study the materials and.
When your question is not about the exact time, but about how often an action is/was performed, then start the question not with When, and with How often :
How often do you go to the gym? - How often do you go to the gym?
How often did he call you? - How often did he call you?
How? - How? How?
One of the most “productive” question words. How is about how the action happens:
How did you make it? - How did you do that?
How do you use this thing? - How to use this thing?
Having the original translation of “how,” the word how forms many different combinations with other words: adverbs and adjectives.
Above I already mentioned the combination How often (How often?):
How often do you travel? - How often do you travel?
How often did you see her? - How often did you see her?
How many and How much (How much?). How many - for countable nouns, How much - for uncountable nouns:
How many days will you spend with us? - How many days will you spend with us?
How many people were in the room? - How many people were in the room?
How much money did you spend? - How much money did you spend?
How much sugar did she buy? - How much sugar did she buy?
Other adverbs that can be found with how: well, quickly, fast:
How well can you swim? - How well are you a swimmer?
How quickly do they work? - How fast do they work?
How fast are you driving? - How fast are you going?
How forms interrogative combinations with adjectives far, big, long, deep, wide, old and others. These combinations are translated into Russian differently:
How far is to the nearest town? - How far is it to the nearest city?
How big is your house? - How big is your house?
How long is the lesson? - How long does the lesson last?
How deep is this well? - How deep is this well?
How wide was the road? - What was the width of the road?
How old are your parents? - How old are your parents?
They say that the one who knows how to construct a question correctly also knows how to answer it correctly. Now you are familiar with most question words and will be able to construct and answer any question accordingly.
Three more question words with all the nuances are sent to your stock. Use it and don't make mistakes!
