Problem with a question
|
|
Good evening from Spain! Preparing a university entrance exam for my students, I �ve come across a sample exam that contains this question:
Write the correct question for the underlined words:
- She didn �t realize until the following day.
I don �t know exactly what to say, since I guess it �s not a very commmon type of question.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks a lot.

Until when didn �t she realize? |

I would go with "When did she realize?" It �s a strange question out of context because realize is a transitive verb; it needs an object and doesn �t have one in this sentence. If you have context, you can say this.
For example, "Did you hear? Mrs. Blank �s husband was caught driving drunk.
�No! Why didn �t she stop him from doing something so stupid?
�She didn �t realize until the following day."
The object is implied: that the husband was driving drunk. |
