Which response is correct 'how come' or 'how comes'?

In informal speaking, the correct slang is "How come?"However, the correct grammar to use is simply, "Why?"Examples using slang and grammatically correct versions:Slang: How come you didn't text me about the party?Grammatically correct: Why didn't you text me about the party?Slang: How come your boyfriend lied on me like that?Grammatically correct: Why did your boyfriend lie about me?Slang: How come your mom is so strict?Grammatically correct: Why is your mom is so strict?Slang: How come I wasn't asked what I thought?Grammatically correct: Why wasn't I asked for my opinion?In speaking or writing, the use of "Why" to begin questions can become boring and unneccessary. Try to vary how you form questions. For example, in some sentences you could replace "Why..." with the phrase "What reason would..."Slang: How come our neighbor acts so mean to kids?Grammatically correct: Why does our neighbor act so mean to kids?An alternate way to write the same question: What reason would our neighbor have to treat kids so meanly?Note: When switching "how come" to "why" questions, notice how the verb changes tense and how the adverb must change as well. For example, "How come your mother yells..." would change to "Why does your mom yell...".
