how

Hello,

Once again I have to frame some question to get correct answer.The question words are already given to me.

1. I run very fast. (question word is "how")

a) How fast do you run?

b) How do you run?

2. I speak quickly.

a) How do you speak?

3) I speak very quickly.

a) How do you speak?

b) How quickly do you run?

I want to know that when there is "very " in a sentence then should I simple use "how+that adverb" or only "how" and the rest of the things.

Please help me.

Thanks.

Well, I could answer 'I run very fast' or I could answer '6 kilometres an hour.' People don't always give you the answer you expect, unless you ask the questio
