Questions in English: What are the things that you hate about me?

[Hommeaffaire]

May i ask you some question concerned how to make questions in English ? Please
1. I don't understand why they use "How do" why not use How + adj

How do the expectations of today's school leavers compare with those of the previous generation?

2. What is the difference between the 3 questions below ? Are they correct ?

What are the things that you hate about me ?
What things do you hate about me ?
What things about me do you hate ?

Thank you

1. I do not understand how you could ask a question staring with how + adjective in this sentence. You could ask "how tall are you?", where the adverb "how" belongs to the adjective "tall".

Broadly speaking, you need to add "do" in a question if there is no auxiliary verb such as "are", "will" and such. That is English idiom.

2. I believe all three are correct, although the third sounds slightly unnatural or colloquial. The first seems to me to be the most common. Their meaning is almost the same, word order giving a bit more or less focus on certain words. Perhaps this depends onm context.
