370 在对一个问句的某部分进行强调时可用强调疑问句。

这类句子很难译为汉语，上面译文只是想给大家一点启发，不一定合适。
372 有些问句只是对别人说话的反应，并不要求回答，也让人无法回答。

374 有些问句中可插入do you think，do you guess之类插入语，这时后面部分要用陈述句语序。

Which do you guess is the better？

Where did they buy it from whom ？（ Where did they buy it and from whom ？更好）
376 当对方说一句话，某一部分没听清楚，要求把这部分重说一遍时，可把疑问词放在后面。
377 当对方说一句话，需了解更多情况时，有时可用省略疑问句，把对方话中已用的词省略掉。
这类问句常由“疑问词＋介词”构成。
