Questionful pronouns

Sometimes you can meet questions in which the pretext is at the end of the sentence, which seems illogical from the point of view of the Russian language.

• If you do not know what to put: which or what - Check if you have a choice. If, for example, you need to choose from 2 colors, then use which. If no choice - use what.

There Is Only Red and Green Pencil. Which color do. you. prefer.? - There are red and green pencils here. What color do you like more?

What colors. do. you. like their most.? - What colors do you like most?

• Very often in the language you can meet forms how. much. or how. many.. And both options are "how much". The difference lies solely that the first form is used with objects that cannot be counted. For example, time. - Time. The second form is with objects that the account is amenable. For example, pictures. - Pictures.

How Much. Time Does It Take -how many of time this is occupied?
