Let's say, I were given a chance to ask George Clooney his professional advice, what would be the most preferable question to ask? I'm trying to ask him how he has become the actor that he is now. 1. "How could you be a great actor?" (What does this question imply?) 2. "How could you become a great actor?" 3. "How did you become a great actor?"
Top answer
#1 and #2 are not natural questions here; if anything, they are insults suggesting that he has no talent. #3 is the natural one.
