宾语从句有疑问句语序吗 不都是陈述句语序吗

Though my aunt pursued what was, in those days, an enlightened policy, in that she never allowed her domestic staff to work more than eight hours a day, she was extremely difficult to please. 你们看这里what引导的宾语从句 就是疑问句语序不是陈述句语序

Answer 1

可以把what看作宾语从句中的主语而不是表语，所以这是陈述句语序

追问

那我以后宾语从句what我都看成主语那岂不是 宾语从句都是疑问语序了 what后边加谓语了

追答

what 作主语时 是陈述句 语序。
我们经常说 对主语提问时 语序不变 就是这个意思。
再如 i don't know what 's matter with you. Tell me who is your teacher.
