How do you learn English? I learn it by listening and reading. I learn fastly this way. How do you feel today? I feel happy. It's a great day! How far do you run in the mornings? I run very far. I normally get to the big park and then I come back.

QUALITY

Let's answer this question by using ADJECTIVES to describe physical features, emotions, moods and anything that can be perceived through your senses! For example: -How does your pasta taste? -It's delicious!!!

MANNER

We must answer this question by using ADVERBS to describe features about the action we are completing. For example: - How do you play football? - I think I play really fearlessly and quickly!

These questions are about the extent of something. For example, you can ask: “how excited are you?” “how hot is it outside?”"how quickly do you run? Notice that we will use the adjective or adverb next to HOW.

EXTENT

These are all questions that will be answered with a range of INTENSIFIERS. Intensifiers are words that can increase or decrease the level or degree of the characteristic we are talking about. We will use the intensifier just before the adjective or adverb that we were asked about, for example: -How hot is your coffee? -It's extremely hot!!
