Dear All,
This is my first post, and hope to get constructive feedback from the members of the forum.
I have always wondered why we can use some adjectives with the wh question words but we can't use others. For example, we always ask:
How old are you? but never 'How young are you?'
or
How tall is he? but we don't ask like;
How short is he? etc.
Many thanks is advance. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Abu Faisal
