When to use Rhetorical Question Pronouns

Read 谁 / 什么 / 怎么 used rhetorically as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 谁 adds to it.

谁会喜欢迟到呢?

Who would like being late?

谁能忘记那天呢?

Who can forget that day?

Common traps

  • Do not translate 谁 / 什么 / 怎么 used rhetorically mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 谁 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
