Questions about quantity with interrogative pronouns

View other nciku notes

The word order of questions with interrogative pronouns("谁", "什么", "哪儿" and so on) is the same as that lf the declarative sentence. Replacing the corresponding part(i. e. , the part being questioned) of a declarative sentence with an interrogative pronoun will result in an interrogative sentence.
“几” and “多少” are used in questions to quantity.

e.g. (1)你有几个哥哥? (2)你有多少本书? (3)这些字你认识多少?
