"What is ...?" or "What ...is?" #1 (permalink) Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:06 am   "What is ...?" or "What ...is?"
 

Hey all,

Could you please help me to find the right word order? I am not sure how to say - "What is the progress of ...?" or "What the progress of ... is?".

Thanks,
Daisymm

Good morning Daisymm, your first example is correct, because it is obviously a question.

The second is grammatically incorrect.

Hello Kitosdad,

Thanks for the reply!
Well, may I make the second example correct if I change it like that: "Would you tell me what the progress of ... is?"

Thouraya, if you were to post a new message with the " new topic " button at the top of this page, ( on the left ) then I'm certain one of our better qualified people would answer you quickly ......... but, why pay good money when you can learn it all here by simply accessing Alan's files on the Home page. Everything there that you could possibly need.

KITOSDAD.
