''how about'' and 'how come'

Is 'how come' grammatically incorrect?

How come he have so much money?

Next, 'how about'

Can you use a subject in the question?

e.g

How about we go to the cinema?

How about you shut up and do some things for the group?

How about he/she ...(incorrect?)

Yes, they are grammatical. There is a formal version of "how about", which is "what about". And watch out for the 3rd person 's'.

michaeltingIs 'how come' grammatically incorrect?
Yes, it defies all rules of grammar! You can't say how go, how see, how speak, how know etc. However, how come is idiomatic English for the simple reason that it is used by native speakers.
