Improper use of interrogative

疑问代词使用不当

  怎么

  how

 

  Example:

  Wrong:去动物园在怎么地方换332路公共汽车?

  Right:去动物园在什么地方换332路公共汽车?

  “怎么”is a word for asking manner, state, reason, etc. The sentence is a question of where to change a bus. Erase “怎么”and use “什么”.

 

  Example:

  Wrong:这个图书馆怎么书都有。

  Right:这个图书馆什么书都有。

  In order to express that the library has a variety of books, one should choose “什么” (an interrogative pronoun of generic reference) rather than “怎么”.
