Questions & Answers about พายุ กำลังจะ มา ถึง กี่โมง ครับ
What is the difference between using กำลังจะ and just จะ in this sentence?
Why do we use both มา and ถึง together here?
Thai often combines verbs to show both the direction and the outcome of an action. มา means "to come" (moving toward the speaker) and ถึง means "to reach" or "to arrive". Together, มาถึง clearly means "to arrive here".
Why is the question word กี่โมง at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?
In English, we start questions with words like "What time", but Thai generally places time-related question words at the end of the sentence. The literal word order here is: The storm - is about to - arrive - what time?
Why use the imminent future กำลังจะ for a question about the time?
