If you do want to try and explain, then indicate to him that "is" can be replaced with "constitutes" in this construct to make a very good, rather more "formal" sentence:
Different people have a different understanding of what constitutes rest and how to spend their leisure time. |
This is just for my own benifit, but I have one question.
The "what rest is" or "what is rest" issue. I was taught too in situation like this when it's a subclause the question form should be converted to an active(?) sentence (I mean the be-verb and the subject witch back) like this: What is rest--> What rest is. Because the main clause is not in a form of a question, neither should subclause in order to be in agreement with the master caluse.
Not always true then?
Many thanks
