Question

Choose the sentence with the right word order How far your town from here is? How far is your town from here? English has a rigid word order that cannot be changed without changing the meaning of the sentence.The word order in ‘WH questions’ is similar to ‘Yes/No questions’, but in ‘WH-questions’ question words ‘when’, ‘what’, ‘who’, ‘whose’, ‘where’, ‘how’, ‘which’, ‘why’ are put at the beginning of the sentences: WH + DO/DOES + SUBJECT + VERB.In questions with the main verb ‘be’ we usually have to put the main verb ‘be’ before the subject: BE+ SUBJECT. In ‘WH-questions’ with ‘be’ we have the following rigid word order: WH + BE + SUBJECT.‘How’ is used to ask about quantity, size, or age: How big is the house? So, after the question word ‘how’ we can use an adjective or an adverb: how long (length – time or space), how many (quantity – with countable nouns), how much (quantity – with uncountable nouns), how old (age), how often (how frequently something happens).The question word-combination ‘How far’ asks for information about the distance between two places: How far is the university from your house?; How far is it to the supermarket?. It is also used to talk about how true something is: How far do politicians represent the views of ordinary people?. We should remember, when we make a question with a verb other than the be verb, we need to use an auxiliary verb(do/did, have/had, will, are/is, etc): How far do you usually walk?; How far will you drive?In the test sentence we have the form of main verb ‘be’ – ‘is’ (the third person, singular), therefore,according to the rule of ‘WH-questions’ with ‘be’, we need to put it after the question word-combination ‘how far’: ‘How far is…’. And then after them we need the subject – your town. Thus, we are to choose ANSWER 4: How far is your town from here?
