Can an adverb follow "How" in a question?
I'm reading a grammar book and it says that I can add an adverb after question words like this:
What precisely/exactly do you mean?
But it saw only an example with "what". So my question is, is it possible to do the same thing with How?
For instance:
How precisely many people will there be?
It doesn't sound well to me.
