Is this question correct
|
|
I �ve asked the students to form a question for the following sentence "He goes to club twice a week" .... some students wrote "How many times does he got to club?" .... Can I consider this question correct? should consider their q as a wrong one or a correct one?
PS: I know that the correct question should be one of the following
How often does he got to club?
Who goes to club twice a week?
Where does he go twice a week? |

Yes, although it would be better to say How many times a week does he go...? |

If the answer only Twice, How many surely is correct but if the answer twice a week How often is correct so it depend about the answer you want. |

Since you are using the simple present, this is talking about continuous or repeated activity. "How many times..." implies just activity in the past:
How many times has he gone to a club?
How many times did he go to a club last year?
Therefore, you need to specify the time period, or use "how often?":
How many times does he go to a club in a week?
How often does he go to a club?
In any case, "How many times does he go to a club?" is not correct because it uses the simple present incorrectly.
