    Default However and how.

    Hello,

    I would like to ask my first question for today. :)

    How fast can you type? (It is correct)

    But,

    1) Tell me. How could you drive this car so fast?

    2) Actually, I can't know about how you can drive this car fast.

    Are they correct? Can we use 'adjective' and 'adverb' apart from 'how'?

    Thanks

    How fast can you type?

    1a) Tell me. How could you drive this car so fast?
    1b) Tell me how you could drive this car so fast.


    #1a and 1b are both acceptable. #1c is also acceptable though it has a different meaning:

    1c) Tell me how fast you could drive this car.


    2) Actually, I can't know about how you can drive this car fast.
    I am not sure what you mean here. These are possiblities:
    I don't know how fast you can drive this car.
    I don't know how you can drive this car so fast.
    I don't know anything about driving this car fast.
