What should be the proper question to the answer :" He īs a good.."?
|
There is this activity sheet on which the students need to provide the questions for the given answers.
For the answer: "He īs a good student? " What is the best question? The best alternative?
Could we just say one of the following?
" How well a student is he?"
"What is he like?
I guess "How student is he" would be preposterous and "What kind of a student is he" sounds illogical.
What do you say?
Thanks for reading this.

I would say " what kind of student is he?" or" What are his school results like?" but certainly not "How well a student is he?" which seems wrong to me. "What īs he like?" concerns either the physical or moral description. |

I don īt know why "What kind of student is he?" sounds illogical, because it is a common question. Also, "How is he as a student?" or "What is he like as a student?" or "How good a student is he?".
