What Are Interrogative Adverbs?
Interrogative adverbs are used to ask questions about different things.
When Do We Use Interrogative Adverbs?
Interrogative adverbs are used at the beginning of a question to ask about something. When using an interrogative adverb, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. For example:
I am leaving at noon. → When are you leaving?
I am going to school. → Where are you going?
I am crying because I am sad. → Why are you crying?
It's M-I-K-E. → How do you spell your name?
Using 'How' to Ask Questions
'How' can be used in four different ways to ask questions:
By itself
With adjectives
With 'much' and 'many'
With adverbs
1. 'How' can come alone to ask questions about the manner of an action or event.
How can I help you?
How are you?
2. It can also come before adjectives such as 'tall', 'old', etc. to ask questions about those adjectives:
How old are you?
How tall is he?
3. It can also ask questions about the quantity or amount of something in the form of 'how many' and 'how much':
How many brothers do you have?

How fast can this car go?
How often do you exercise?
