. . . who the president of South Africa is.
. . .  how many citizens voted in the last election.

ATAU

. . . who made the error.

. . . what happened at the student body meeting.

Penting untuk Diingat

Tatanan kata dalam klausa ini kadang-kadang menyebabkan masalah bagi pembelajar Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa kedua (L2). Mungkin nampak aneh tidak mengikuti kata seperti who dan when dengan verba (When did she visit her grandmother?). Bagaimanapun, ingatlah bahwa tatanan kata dalam klausa nomina seperti pernyataan, tidak seperti pertanyaan.

Pelajari tatanan kata dalam wh-questions pada sisi kiri tabel, dan wh-word clauses pada sisi kanan. Perhatikan bahwa wh-word-clauses selalu menggunakan tatanan kata pernyataan SV yang normal. Juga, karena mereka tidak berupa pertanyaan, kata kerja bantu do, does, dan did tidak muncul.

Mengubah wh-questions ke dalam wh-word-clauses

* Ubahlah tatanan kata ke tatanan kata pernyataan SV (Subject-Verb) jika perlu.
* Hapus do, does, atau did.
