why was it...點解?

原文:
why was it strange that men wear make up<-- This question is wrong!

Why was it strange that the/those men wore makeup?<===

Why was it strange<------- past tense

the/those men WORE makeup<------You should use the simple past tense here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer to the question above would be something like.........
文中既why was it點解?
It means it was strange that the/those men wore makeup, but WHY?

=那些男人化了粧,這樣實在奇怪 but WHY?

IT WAS strange that the/those men wore makeup
at my birthday party because I never thought they would do such a thing. It was just a birthday party. They shouldn't have done that anyway!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may use this sentence structure in the present tense as well.
Examples:
- Why is it important that we study hard?
- Why is it absurd that I'd ask my to teach me how to cook?

You may change the structure a bit.
Examples:
Isn't it important that we study hard?
Isn't it absurd that I should ask my son to teach me how to cook?

要說((那位/那些男人))化了粧,這樣實在奇怪.究竟,他們為何要這樣做呢?

why was it... 為何...

因為以前發生一件事 (men wear make up)，現在問那時為何會這樣，所以用過去式 was。
