Question

mum asked me what was the matter

一道关于宾语重句的选择题
I don't feel well,mum ask me ________this morning
A.what the matter was B.what wrong was
为什么不选B?

Answer 1

这句话是不是：mum asked me what the matter was this morning.
应该选A
只要是从句,那么它的语序为陈述句语序,也就是说：主语＋谓语
在问句中：What's the matter?= What's wrong?
但是,把这两句话改为陈述句应为：
1.the matter is what?(the matter是名词,可以作主语)
2.what is wrong?(wrong是形容词,不能作主语)
宾语从句由引导词加陈述句构成,这两句话的引导词都是：what,因此,如果改为宾语从句应为：
1.mum asked me what the matter was this morning.
2.mum asked me what wrong was this morning.
