How do you make questions about elements in a subordinate clause?

English Language & Usage Asked by ing on December 26, 2020

I am forming the open interrogative from the following declaratives, replacing the italicized phrases with a corresponding interrogative phrase such as who, what etc.

"He thinks they’ll appoint someone."
"You think someone has the most influence with their people."

Does it follow the same way for a normal main clause?
like "They’ll appoint someone" -> "Who will they appoint?"
So the first example sentence will be changed to "Who does he thinks they’ll appoint?" Is it right?

One Answer

"Who does he think they'll appoint?" is exactly right. Similarly, "Who do you think has the most influence with their people?"
