What et how

What et what a/an correspondant à 'quel...' précèdent respectivement des substantifs

indénombrables au singulier et au pluriel et des substantifs dénombrables au singulier, même s'ils sont précédés d'un adjectif.

Exemples.

What a day it was!

What a lovely girl!

What bad weather!

What fools we were!

Font exception à cette règle quelques phrases telle que:

What a pity!

What a shame! (Quel dommage!)

(10)

What a fuss! (Quelle agitation!) What a nonsense! (Quelle bêtise!).

How a le même sens que What, mais précède adjectifs et adverbes ou accompagne le

verbe.

Exemples.

How cold it is today!

How happily they lived!

How you've grown!

What a lovely film I saw yesterday.' I'd like to see it again!

Ici, l'utilisation de what est correcte car il précède un substantif dénombrable au singulier (film). L'adjectif lovely est attribut du substantif et doit être considéré comme formant un tout avec lui.

Questions:

1. _____________________________ charming girl she is!

2. _____________________________ well he sings!

3. _____________________________ traffic there is in this street!

4. _____________________________ beautifully she plays the guitar!

5. _____________________________ interesting book you have!
