Note:

The different constructions of direct and indirect questions with how are to be noted: in direct questions, how is at the beginning of the sentence and the auxiliary precedes the subject (how could you do that? = come hai potuto farlo?); in indirect questions, the subject precedes the verb (please, tell me how you could do that = per favore, dimmi come hai potuto farlo) or, alternatively, a verb in the infinitive may be used (please, tell me how to use this tool = per favore, dimmi come usare / come si usa questo strumento). - How may precede an adjective (how nice she is! = com'è carina!), an adverb (how often do you go to the cinema? = quanto spesso vai al cinema?), or a verb clause (how I wish I could swim! = quanto vorrei saper nuotare!). - When how is used as a question word meaning in what way ? or by what means? it is almost always translated by come: how did you get here? = come ci sei arrivato? how will you do it? = come lo farai? - When how is used as a conjunction meaning the way in which, it is often translated by come: I don't know how they did it = non so come l'hanno fatto; tell me how you write this word = dimmi come si scrive questa parola. - When how is used as a conjunction meaning that, it is almost always translated by che: you know how he always arrives late = sai che arriva sempre tardi; it's amazing how they survived = è sorprendente che siano sopravvissuti. - For more examples and particular usages see below
