How can "How do you play guitar often?" be rephrased? [closed]
Solution 1:
The following question is awkward sounding and as Kate Bunting commented, an English native speaker would wonder to him or herself "What does he mean?"
- How do you play guitar often?"
The more conventional way is to say:
- How OFTEN do you play the guitar?
With the addition of the frequency adverb, often, the "how" question is ambiguous, confusing and the listener would probably ask the speaker to clarify.
Other plausible interpretations could be:
-
WHY do you play the guitar so often?
-
How do you MANAGE to play the guitar so often?
-
How CAN you play the guitar so often?
If somone considered "often" as a red herring, they might conclude that the speaker is asking:
- How WELL do you play the guitar?
This matches more closely to the OP's first interpretation, In what way do you often play guitar?
-
How LONG do you play the guitar for? (Ideally, it should be How long have you been playing the guitar?)
-
How MUCH time do you spend playing on your guitar?
