    E. <span class="pinyin">Le</span> <span class="hanzi">了</span> is used to ask or answer general questions about who did something without requesting specific information about quantity, duration and so on. For example, the speaker would ask who bought books instead of who bought three books, or who drank wine instead of who drank two glasses of wine.
