12 de may. de 2015 · Poland. Polish. May 12, 2015. #1. It's obvious that the correct clause should be "I don't know what it is", but the problem seems to become complicated when the pronoun it is replaced by a longer phrase: 1) "I don't know what that strange-looking tiny object behind the fence is". I'm not sure, but I suspect native speakers don't speak like that.
9 de may. de 2007 · those two make sense while "I don't know what "is it" with you people" doesn't. "I don't know what it is with you people." is also correct (it is a statement while the other is a question.)
26 de mar. de 2013 · Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. English - US. Mar 26, 2013. #2. This is one of the situations in which the "Don't use double negatives" rule/guideline applies. Neither is negative, either is not. So you can write: I don't know either (one) - don't know is negative, either is not. or you can write I know neither (one) - know isn't negative, neither is.
30 de jul. de 2019 · Use "whom" when it is the object of the preposition. "To whom do I talk with?" vs. "Who do I talk with?" Use "who" in your original sentence. I'm sorry, but this is not correct. While one might say "Whom do I talk with?", or "To whom do I talk?", you may not use both prepositions (that is, both "to" and "with") in a single sentence.
17 de ago. de 2009 · Kansas, USA. American English. 17 Agosto 2009. #2. Axwek dijo: Existen algunas otras formas, formales o informales para decir I don´t know en inlges.¨ Por ejemplo en español se dice No sé sepa sabe. I'm a little confused, because your examples don't all mean "I don't know." But English synonyms would be: I have no idea.
6 de nov. de 2019 · Taiwan/Chinese. Nov 6, 2019. #1. Dear all, 1 I don't know who is who. 2 I don't know who who is. I think 1 is the correct sentence. Is 2 possible to be right too?
10 de ene. de 2015 · Florentia52 said: "I don't know either" is what I would say. I consider "I don't know too" to be wrong. For that matter, the tense mismatch in "I think you turned right when you should hang a left" is jarring as well. In addition to using "I don't know either" to mean "not only you, I don't know either", can we use the same to mean "not only ...
24 de nov. de 2020 · If they all serve as a subject in their own sentence, then the indirect questions should be: 1. I don't know which is better. 2. I don't know which is the best. I ask this question because "I don't know which better is." sounds off to me. That leads to to think "which" is a subject here. But somehow "I don't know which is the best."
10 de jun. de 2021 · A simpler sentence would be I don't know what this is: Know+ complement+subject+verb. I don't know what is this would be wrong. So strictly speaking your second sentence is correct. Stylistically, the is is dangling a bit on the end of the second sentence (or so it seems to me). So perhaps for that reason, people might not object to your first ...
15 de jun. de 2015 · This is the grammatical rules that I know about this: 1. We use normal word order after question words in indirect speech. e.g. He didn't know what they were doing. Obviously we cannot put the auxiliary after the question word. 2. When the question word replaces the subject of the sentence, auxiliary comes after it. e.g.
