you like, the green or the red one? The green one.

Why We ask about the reason why something happens. Why is the baby crying? Because he is
hungry.
How We ask about the way in which something happens or about someone's health. How do you go

HOW
We use How + adjective / adverb when we ask for specific information.
How often We ask about the frequency of an action. How often do you go to the cinema?Every
week.
How old We ask about the age. How old is she? She’s seventy.

Prepositions with Question Words
If the Question Word goes with a preposition, we place the preposition at the end of the question.
Who is this rose for?
Which hospital is he in?

What is he talking about?
Where did he buy the present from?
Where does he send the letter to?
Questions which take yes / no for an answer start with auxiliary verbs, not with Question Words.
Is Betty your friend? No, she isn’t.
Have you got a pet? Yes, I have.
Does he go to the cinema on Fridays? Yes, he does.
