The verb in this type of what-question can be any action verb that takes an object. The important thing is that this type of question asks for very specific information, so the answer must use verb-suffix le and the object must be quantified or modified. The question, however, uses the sentence-end modal particle le . “The more specific and delimited the action is made by reference to particular context, the greater the need for this verb-suffix–le, to the degree that it is obligatory where precision is given to the object or complement by quantifying it.” (P.C. T 'ung and D. E. Pollard: 1982, p. 142)
