由what,who,where和how提出的问句是特殊疑问句,对于他们提出的问题,我们不能用yes和No回答,而要用一个陈述句或短语来作出明确的回答.
(一)what 通常对"物"提问,如东西的名称,人的姓名等,也可对"几班,几号,几排"等提问.
例句:--What's this?--It's a computer.
--What's your number?--I'm Number2,in Row3.
--What's five minus one?--It's four.
--What't your name?--My name is Lin Tao.
(二)how "怎么样"如果想询问别人的身体状况,可用how提问.询问年龄时与old连用.
例句:--How are you?--I'm fine,thank you.
--How old are you?--I'm twelve years old.
(三)where "在哪里"、"哪儿"通常用来询问某人或某物在什么地方.
例句:--Where is the washroom?--It's over there.
--Where is Cindy?--She is in the classroom.
(四)who "谁"通常用以询问人的身份.
例句:--Who is him?--He's my brother.
--Who isn't here today?--Tony.
特殊疑问句不仅需要习题掌握练习,也可通过对话加强对该语法的掌握。英语在学习之后要经常练习应用为最佳状态。
