这周学校英语试卷上出了一题
There ares forty-two students in our class .
要求对forty-two students划线提问， 老师说是What is in your class?
我觉得用What不太妥当，可是用Who的话用中文来翻译好像也有点别扭。
请教大家你们觉得应该用what 还是who?
从网上摘录了一点关于这方面的内容
There be句型的特殊疑问句有以下三种形式：
① 对主语提问：当主语是人时，用 “Who’s + 介词短语?”；当主语是物时，用 “What’s + 介词短语?”。其中there在口语中常常省略。注意：无论原句的主语是单数还是复数，对其提问时一般都用be的单数形式(回答时却要根据实际情况来决定)。如：
There is a bird in the tree. →What’s in the tree?
There are some bikes over there. →What’s over there?
There is a little girl in the room. →Who is in the room?
② 对地点状语提问：用 “Where is \ are + 主语?”表示（注意其答语变化）：例如：
There is a computer in my office.
→ Where is the computer? ----It’s in my office.
There are four children in the classroom.
→Where are the four children?—They’ re in the classroom.
③ 对数量提问：一般有两种提问方式：
如果主语是可数名词，无论是单数还是复数，都用“How many +可数名词复数 + are there + 介词短语？”表示：
There are twelve months in a year.
→How many months are there in a year?
There is only one book in my bag.
→ How many books are there in your bag?
There is a cat in the box.
→ How many cats are there in the box?
如果主语是不可数名词，则用“ How much + 不可数名词 + is there + 介词短语？”表示：
There is some money in my purse. How much money is there in
your purse?
反意疑问句：There be或There加其它动词，其反意疑问句一律用…there? 例如：
There is a beautiful girl in the garden, isn’t there?
There used to be no school here, used there \did there?
