How about we go to the beach? So there, we're using "how about" to make suggestions. Let's look at "what about" now. We can use "what about" to talk about a possible problem or some kind of objection. Here's an example: A. Hey, let's go to the beach tomorrow. B. But what about my guitar lesson at one o'clock?
