题目内容：

how many strings were broken?为什么这个问句形式不能是how many were strings broken?
问句一般形式是之一 疑问词+名词/疑问词 + be动词 + 主语+其它?可上述句子为什么就不能改成how many were strings broken?这种形式呢?

优质解答

因为问的是“多少根琴弦”完整的语意是how many strings 所以不可以断开.
再如：How many books are there on the table?桌上有几本书?
How many foreign languages can you speak?你能讲几种外语?
问句一般形式是之一：疑问词+名词/疑问词 + be动词 + 主语+其它?不错,但是many不是名词呀!类似的问句：Whose book is this?/ What color is the shirt?/ How much money has been sent to him?/ Which pencil is yours?.
