Grammar: 'What + verb' and 'What to + verb' #1 (permalink) Mon May 11, 2009 7:22 am   Grammar: 'What + verb' and 'What to + verb'
 

Hi friends, I have something would like to ask you. because I am still ambiguous about using it

Please tell me when we use

1, '' What + verb '' and '' What to + verb ''

2, '' why didn't you play football '' and " Why did you not play football" Are they the same meaning or difference. If it is different Please tell me when we use

Thanks in advance

Did not and didn't mean the same.

Didn't is simply a shorter way of writing, and saying, " did not."

" What " is a questioning word, along with, How, When, Where, Which, Who, Whom, Whose and Why. It has numerous applications, as do they all.

Then the questioning word simply precedes the accompanying text.
