Improper use of interrogative

疑问代词使用不当

　　 哪

　　which

 

　　Example:

　　Wrong：你是从哪地方来的？

　　Right：你是从哪个地方来的？

　　The interrogative pronoun “哪” mainly serves as an attributive. A measure word is needed between it and its head word (“地方”). The counting unit of “地方”is “个”. The counting unit of “地方”is “个”. Thus we insert “个”between “哪”and “地方”.
