Question on this statement, 'It was very quiet in the room'.

[learning54]

Hi teachers,
According to this statement, 'It was very quiet in the room'.
Is this the appropriate question, 'How was in the room?'

Thanks in advance

Not a teacher.

I would say "How was it like?".

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Then, isn't it better to say, 'How was it like in the room?'

No. What was it like?

 

[learning54]

No. What was it like?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Knowing that the exercise is for listening I assume that there is no need to add 'in the room' in the question.

Thanks

Yes, there is. A thing may be mentioned and 'What was it like?' could be taken to be asking about that thing.
