How the most beautiful building came to be?
If it was written exactly like that when you saw it, it was wrong. It should not have a question mark.
You've been told more than once that when you read something on the internet that you decide to ask us about, you must provide a link to it – as tzfujimino helpfully did.I read it on the internet.
Well, the Sydney Opera House is pretty attractive.
Tufguy, have you forgotten how to form a question?

Sorry, I don't understand. Which question are you referring to?
In fairness, I'm not entirely sure what Tarheel was referring to either. You said that you saw "How the most beautiful building came to be?" on the internet. I did ask you if it contained a question mark in the original - a question you have failed to answer, but for now I'm assuming that you copied it exactly how it was. If that's the case, then you cannot be blamed for someone else's error.
However, you have still failed to post a link to where you saw it. If you do that, we will be able to see whether the original contained a question mark.
OK, thank you for admitting to your error. I would have thought that, by now, you would remember that we constantly remind learners that questions do not start with "How to".
You're right, but the rule still stands. A question doesn't generally start with "How the". (There is an exception to this - you can ask someone "How the devil are you?" but it just means "How are you?")But it started with "How the" not "How to". Okay, but still a mistake. I am sorry.
[STRIKE]Okay[/STRIKE] You [STRIKE]have written[/STRIKE] wrote "Thanks for admitting to your error". [STRIKE]Do we need to[/STRIKE] Can we say "Thanks for admitting your error" [STRIKE]or[/STRIKE] instead of "Thanks for admitting to your error" or are both possible?

If you "admit to something" or "admit to having done something", it means you say you did it.
I admitted to my error.
I admitted to having made an error.
I admitted to making an error.
There is, of course, another meaning of "admit" and that "to let in". It's frequently used in the passive voice.
I was admitted to hospital.
I will not be admitted into the theatre once the play has started.
No. They're both correct and natural.Okay, so "I admitted my mistake" or "I admitted my error" is wrong.
Sorry, I don't understand this either.
