在英语中,how是个疑问副词,what是个疑问代词。在它们引起的句式中,有时可以互相换用,来表达相同或相似的意思。
一、问天气:How…?=What…like? 如:
How was the weather yesterday? 昨天的天气怎么样?
What was the weather like yesterday?
二、征求意见或建议:How about…?= What about…?如:
How about going skating?

三、问年龄:How old…?=What…the age…?你多大岁数了?
四、问看法:How…like…?=What…think of/about…? 如:

What do you think of this film?
五、问价钱:How much…?=What…the price 价钱)of…?如:
How much is the book?
What’s the price of the book? 这书多少钱?
六、“how/what+可数名词单数”构成感叹句:How + adj. + a/ an+ n…!=What + a/an +adj. +n. …! 如:
How clever a girl she is! 她是个多么聪明的女孩子啊!
What a clever girl she is!
七、“how/what+可数名词复数或不可数名词”构成感叹句,句子结构有所不同,汉语意思也稍有差异。如:
How high the mountains are!这些山多高啊!
What high mountains they are!多高的山啊!
当然,有些由how引起的感叹句是不能用what进行转换的,如下列句子中的how不宜换用what。
How fast he is running!他跑得多快啊!
How time flies!光阴似箭!
