词语用法

adv. (副词)

1. how作“怎样,怎么样”解时,主要是指做某事或某事发生的方式或方法,还可以引导从句或动词不定式,在句中作宾语,引导的从句在句中还可作定语。how表示某种方式时,可放在表示方式的名词后面。how作“情况如何”解时,指询问某人的近况或身体状况如何。how作“多么,多少”解时,指达到什么程度,到何种地步,后接形容词或副词。how还常用于感叹句中,可修饰谓语动词,在句中作状语,表示程度,意为“多么,何等”。
2. how还可与形容词+带不定冠词的单数可数名词〔不可数名词,复数名词〕构成感叹句。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

how, what

• 这两个词都有“多么”的意思。how修饰形容词、副词、动词; what修饰名词。

How are you,How do you do

• How do you do?和How are you?均为问候语。
• How do you do?是初次见面的用语,一问一答都是How do you do?不做具体回答; How are you?是熟人间的问候语,相当于汉语的“您好吗?”,需要具体回答。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的hu，意为怎样。
