Welcome everbody to this new
entry of Montcada in English. This is the last part of the question words explanation.
Today I’d like to focus on Why and How.
Why is used to obtain an
explanation or a reason about something or someone. (I want to know the reason).
In Spanish, why means Por qué. Normally the response of why begins with
Because, which means Porque in Spanish.
For example:
Why do we need a nanny? ---------------------------- Por qué necesitamos
una niñera?
Because we are going out
----------------------------- Porque vamos a salir.
Why are they always late?
---------------------------- Por qué siempre llegan tarde?
Because they live so far
------------------------------- Porque viven muy lejos
Why does he complain all the time? --------------- Por qué se queja todo el
tiempo?
Because he is spoiled
--------------------------------- Porque es malcriado
How is used to describe the
manner that something is done. So, when I want to know the way to do something. The translation
of How in Spanish is Cómo
For example:
How do you cook paella? ------------------------------ Cómo cocinas la
paella?
How does he know the answer?
--------------------- Cómo sabe la respuesta?
How can I learn English
quickly? -------------------- Cómo puedo aprender Inglés rápidamente?
With how there are a number
of other expressions that are used in questions:
How much – refers to a
quantity or a price (uncountable nouns)
For example:
How much time do you have to
finish the test?
How much is the jacket on
display in the window?

quantity (countable nouns)
For example:
How many days are there in
