5. FAQ
Q1: Why do we invert subject and verb in English questions?
A1: Inversion signals a question form. Without it, the sentence is a statement.
Q2: Can “How” ask about day or colour?
A2: No, “How” asks about quality or degree (How old, How tall, How fast). “What” is for identification or category.
Q3: Why “have got” instead of “have” for possession?
A3: “Have got” is a common British English form to express possession; “have” alone is also correct (“What do you have?”).
