The term PRACTICAL QUESTION can be broken down into three parts: 'PRACTICAL, ' 'QUESTION, ' and 'how' (3 letters). PRACTICAL means 'based on experience or observation rather than theory, ' while a QUESTION is an inquiry that seeks an answer. The word 'how' is used to ask for information about the manner, means, or process of doing something. Therefore, the term PRACTICAL QUESTION can be interpreted as an inquiry that seeks an answer based on experience or observation rather than theory.
