Some idioms with HOW
Hi,
three questions:
1)How do you mean? - Is this the same as "What do you mean?"
2)How so? - Is this a way to say "Why?" or "Why is it that way?"
3)Look! How many people! - Is this wrong and should be "What a lot of people!"?
Thanks

Thanks GG.
Grammar Geek3) Look how many people! Yes you have the meaning correct, but don't separate the "look" from the rest.Actually, it was supposed to be separate. I meant, "Wow, how many people!" should not be ok, right? Should it be "Wow, what a lot of people!" instead?
