GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
"How" primarily means: (1) In what manner or way (How do you solve this problem?), asking about methods or processes, and (2) To what extent or degree (How much does it cost? How tall are you?), inquiring about quantity, intensity, or condition. Additionally, "how" can express surprise or emphasis in exclamations (How wonderful!) or introduce indirect questions (I wonder how she did it).
