What is the difference between what and how?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
"What" asks for information about things, actions, or descriptions (What is your name? What happened?). "How" asks about methods, processes, conditions, or degrees (How do you make bread? How are you feeling?). "What" seeks identification or definition, while "how" explores manner, means, or extent. For example: "What do you do?" asks about your occupation; "How do you do it?" asks about your process.
