$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}.
