							| What should be the proper question to the answer :" He īs a good.."? 
 |  
							| There is this activity sheet on which the students need to provide the questions for the given answers. For the answer: "He īs a good student? " What is the best question? The best alternative?
 Could we just say one of the following?
 
 " How well a student is he?"
 "What is he like?
 
 I guess "How student is he" would be preposterous and "What kind of a student is he" sounds illogical.
 
 What do you say?
 
 Thanks for reading this.

							| I would say " what kind of student is he?" or" What are his school results like?" but certainly not "How well  a student is he?" which seems wrong to me. "What īs he like?" concerns either the physical or moral description. |  23 May 2012

							| I don īt know why "What kind of student is he?" sounds illogical, because it is a common question. Also, "How is he as a student?" or "What is he like as a student?" or "How good a student is he?".   Bruce |  23 May 2012
