help to devise a question

[Falcon]

Hi everybody,

I'm intending to ask a person who had test whether he had a good grade or not. However I'd like to know about the test itself.

Can I ask: "How the test was?"
Is this question correct?

Thanks,

Falcon

You can ask "How was the test?" (note the word order) but that asks about the test itself. Was it hard? Was it easy? It doesn't ask how the person did.

"How did you do on the test?" asks whether the person did well or not.

Hi, Falcon!

You can kill two birds with one stone by asking: "Was the test difficult and how did you do?"

Yep! It is the question!!
I was in doubt about how to use "was" in this question. So, the order is "was" coming first and NOT in the end of the sentence as I did.

Thank you for helping.

Yes, thanks.

Interesting the idiom you have used - "kill two birds with one stone". We have similar phrase around here (in Brazil).

I'm not sure if I going to say it correctly in English but I'll try...

"kill two rabbits with only one baton"

Yes, Falcon! I understand the meaning of the idiom! You expressed it correctly!

Poor animals always seem to appear in idioms, don't they?
("The early bird catches the worm!" "That's a horse of a different color!")
