どんな・どうやって・どのぐらい

What kind of / how / about how muchmachine translation

Formationどんな + noun; どうやって・どのぐらい used inside questions

どんな + noun asks about qualities or type: どんな音楽 "what kind of music, what genre of music." どうやって asks about the method or means of doing something. どのぐらい asks about extent — time, distance, quantity, "about how much."

Like この・その・あの, the word どんな always needs a noun after it and never stands alone. Answers to どのぐらい usually use a quantity + ぐらい: 一時間ぐらいかかります.
