How to Address Questions in've discussed about the use of the word good in making the information asked questions and in making embedded questions. Embedded questions are noun clause. In this section are given additional examples to refresh your memory.
1. Single question
words.
Example:
1. Where
he is now is still unknown.
2. When
they arrive is still uncertain.
3. I know
what you did last summer and I still
know what you did last summer are two
Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Note: in this sentence, noun clause what you did last summer became the object of I know and I still know, and once combined with: are two Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt, a compound subject of the sentence.
Noun clause can be placed at the beginning of the sentence (as subject) or as an object. If you want to change the position of the subject noun clause object sentence into a sentence, it is usually necessary pronoun or a slight modification of the word. The above example becomes:
1. It
is still unknown where she is now.
2. Do
you know when they arrive?
3. Two
Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt are I know
what you did last summer and I still
know what you did last summer.Because the title of movies, noun clause what you did last summer does not need to be rotated position.

weekend.

1. I
think you whom Mr. Dodi was looking for. (Saya kira kamu (orang)
yang pak Dodi sedang cari-cari tadi).
