monto Posted May 27, 2008 at 03:27 AM Report Posted May 27, 2008 at 03:27 AM 离我们学校近的地方有什么样子的房子？ or 离我们学校近的地方是什么样子的房子？ Both Ok. I would say: 离我们学校近的地方，都有些什么样的房子？ or 离我们学校近的地方，都是些什么样的房子？ Quote
Justinus Posted May 27, 2008 at 07:04 AM Report Posted May 27, 2008 at 07:04 AM 家 could mean either "Family" or "Home"or "House" in Chinese. I don't think "他们家是一栋小楼" is a wrong sentence. Quote
