I just got through the quiz of module 4.
But I've got a question regarding question no.8.
Q8 : You can make any form of practice more meaningful by adding "how?"
I think it can be also true.
Because by adding "how", we can also elicit more detailed answers.
It only depends on what kinds of question we ask.
I think any kinds of WH question can be an answer of this question.
If I am teaching 'Let's go to the park" for example,
And if I add "how?" then students can answer "We can go to the park by walk" or "by train", etc.
I know during the lecture you mentioned that by adding "why" we can engage students more in the class.
I want to know about your opinion.
Thanks!

Hey Minji,
I think you basically already answered your own question. While "how" would work sometimes, it depends on the structure you are practicing. If the original sentence was like "I like _________(pizza)" and then you followed up by asking "how?", it would not really work, and that is why the answer is false.
If the question had stated, "...by adding a "wh-" question" then it would be true, but "how" by itself would not always work.
Well, I hope that makes sense and have a nice day!
