$GRAMMAR Questions with How + Be
ID: 1b-f5-b
INTRO: Before the drills, here's the pattern in one small box: "how" plus a form of "be".

A question with **how** asks "what is it like?" The answer describes it.

**Now** — use *is* or *are*:
- {How's the weather?} — {It's rainy today.}
- {How are your two sons?} — {They're fine, thank you.}

**Past** — use *was* or *were*:
- {How was the food in that new restaurant?} — {The food was very good.}
- {How were your brothers and sisters?} — {They were all fine.}

The answer usually gives a quality word: {nice}, {good}, {cold}, {fine}.

# Source: ST §He Thinks It Will Cost Lots of Money. (grammar box)
$GRAMMAR How Much Does Ed Think?
ID: l1-s22
INTRO: One more question shape: a question word, then "do/does ... think", then the thought.

| Ed thinks | he can buy a car | in Houston. |

| **Where** | **does Ed think** | **he can buy a car?** |

| Ed thinks | he can buy a truck | next month. |
