2. Practice the sentence pattern:

   一年 有 幾 天？
                                             How many days are there in one year?
  * 一個月 有 幾 天？
                                             How many days are there in one month?

  一個月 有 幾(個) 星期？
                                             How many weeks are there in one month?

【Notes:】

1. 星期 can be read as "xing1qi2"  or "xing1 qi1".
2. Use 個 when refereing to number of months, so that it won't be confused with name of months.  For example,  一個月 = one month;  一月 = January。
3. 幾 could mean "how many" or "what/which".  幾月 = which month;  幾個月 = how many month.
4. 幾 could appear before or after the noun it modifies and has different meanings.  Ex. 幾星期 = 幾個星期 = how many weeks;  星期幾 = what day of the week

  你 幾月 生的？
                                             In what month were you born?
  你 星期幾 上中文課？
                                             On what day of the week do you have Chinese lessons?
