Problem: "How" has three general uses in English, only one is taught in most text books, as far as I can find. Does anybody know where to find it? Online material appreciated, but anything else is appreciated too.
Extra information:
1. "How" + adjective/determiner - e.g. "How many" "How old" are in most text books
2. "How are you?" is in any textbook, but much less other uses of How + to be: "How was the film?" "How was the class?" "How is the new car?"
3. "How do you make cake?" I could not find anywhere. How + to do + verb
My problem: I have a number of students who start to speak English well, but multiple times over they did not understand my question "How did they teach you English in High school?" and also not "How were the classes in High school?"
Question: where can I find material to teach these two specific uses of 'How'?
Thank you!
