how you take care of your sister

Post by azz »

a. It says a lot about you how you take care of your sister.
b, How you take care of your sister says a lot about you.


Are the above sentences grammatically correct?

Do they mean
1. The fact that you take care of your sister says a lot about you.
or
2. The manner in which you take care of your sister says a lot about you.
?

Many thanks.

Both are grammatical (but clearly do not have the same meaning).
