How I wonder= How much I wonder=I wonder very much What you are= what you are made of, what makes you twinkle

I wonder what it is. I wonder who he is. I wonder what you are. Elementary grammar! How = mood word It adds to the mood, suggesting she wonders a great deal.

"How I wonder what you are" = "I wonder very much what you are" or "I really wonder what you are". This is artsy, but common - especially in songs and poetry, but also in daily life. It also fits the song better because "are" rhymes with "star" and the sentence has the same number of beats as the first sentence. _________ Corrected question: There is a famous song named "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Do you know it? The first two sentences are Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are I have two questions about the second sentence. 1. Does How in this sentense mean Very? Is this sentence same as "I wonder very much what you are"? Is this usage common or just for artistry? 2.How to understand "what you are"? The first sentence has told us they are little stars. Does it mean what the little starts were doing? Does it mean why the little starts were twinkling? Can you give me answers? And there must be some mistakes in my questions because of my poor English. Please help me correct them. Thank you! ______ "sentence" not "sentense" Few other small mistakes. Your English is not poor, and your question was clear. Hope that helps!
