1) I wonder what was he hinting when he put my shoe next to the garbage bin.
2) what hint was he dropping when he threw my shoe away.

(1) I believe that No. 1 consists of two sentences:

I wonder something. + He was hinting at what when he put my shoe

next to the garbage bin?

Therefore, together we might have:

I wonder what he was hinting at when he put my shoe next to the


garbage bin.

(2) I believe that No. 2 is not idiomatic. That is, I believe that most

native speakers would not speak like that. Maybe it would better to

say something like:

What was he hinting at when he threw my shoe away?

If you wish to use the expression "drop a hint," then maybe something

like this is possible:

Was he dropping some kind of hint when he threw my shoe away?
