特殊疑问句通常以what，who，which，when，where，how，how old，how many等开头，对某一具体问题进行提问。
特殊疑问句的基本构成有两种情况：
(1)疑问词＋一般疑问句。这是最常见的情况。如：
What's your grandfather's telephone number？你爷爷的电话号码是多少？
Who is that boy with big eyes？那个大眼睛的男孩是谁？
Which season do you like best？你最喜欢哪个季节？
(2)疑问词＋陈述句。这时疑问词作主语或修饰主语。如：
Which man is your teacher？哪位男士是你的老师？
我们学过的“What/How about＋名词/代词＋其他？”也是特殊疑问句，它是一种省略结构。如：
I like English.What/How about you？我喜欢英语。你呢？
What about playing basketball？打篮球怎么样？
2．形容词的用法
形容词修饰名词，用以说明事物或人的性质或特征，通常在句中作定语和表语。
(1)作定语：形容词用以修饰名词或代词one，ones，位于名词或代词前。如：
This is an old book.这是一本旧书。
I want some large ones.我想要一些大号的。
(2)作表语：形容词放在连系动词后，作表语，构成系表结构，说明主语是什么或怎么样，即说明主语的特征。如：
They're very cute.它们非常可爱。
He looks very happy.他看起来非常开心。
