(do you want a drink/chat/hug/something to eat/book to read? etc) How can I get to London (by boat, plane, drive, etc) 2. How do I - has the sense that you need to know how to complete a task/action. It is more related to knowledge/skills. e,g, How do I make a cake? How do I apply for a job here? How do I change the oil in my car? 3. How is it possible for me to - has the sense that this is probably not possible but there might be a way round it after all. Or it could imply surprise or disbelief. e.g. How is it possible for me to study so hard and get a low score? How is it possible for me to get the parcel to her by tomorrow? Hope this helps.

All three expressions have similar (almost the same, but not exactly the same) meanings: How can I find the train station? How do I find the train station? How can I learn your language?

"How is it possible" is usually used when we are confused and we don't undersatnd how it was possible for something to happen, e.g., How is it possible that so many people survived the plane crash? e.g., I didn't study for the exam and I went to bed very late the night before the exam, and I still got a very good score/mark. How was that possible?
