La formulazione delle domande con What o Which più nome è molto comune.
Ecco alcuni esempi:
What movies have you seen recently?
What factors may result in the breakdown of a good friendship?
What qualities do you think are important in a friend?
What things should friends never do?
What kind of traditional food do you eat for Thanksgiving?
What kinds of thing do you like to do on the holidays?
If you could be a super-hero, which one would you be?
If you could choose to live on a different planet, which one would you choose?
Which hobbies are the most expensive?
Which languages do you know?
La differenza tra What e Which è che What tende ad essere usato quando si ha a che fare con un numero illimitato di cose o persone mentre Which tende ad essere usato per un numero limitato di cose o persone. Ma la differenza è molto sottile e va affinata con l’uso. Si veda ad esempio questa serie di domande sui mesi dell’anno (tratta da:http://iteslj.org/questions/months.html):
What month is it now?
What month is it next month?
What month is last month?
Which month is your birthday?
