Question Problem

[onkar]

Subject+helping verb+ any interrogative sentence .(Can I make a sentence like this ?)

1-The main question is what is meant by it?


2-His doubt was how did he manage to breach security?

Are these two sentences right?. I know the best way , but I also want to know that
"Is this type also correct?"
If It is wrong way,then why did one of your teacher use a sentence like this in my previous post?

My question to the OP is what is meant by "sounding awkward"? Compared to what?

(This sentence was used by Waflob ,a teacher,to reply to me in my post titled "grammatically correct or sounding awkward ".

"My question to the OP is what is meant by "sounding awkward"? Compared to what?

You can't compare a new language to your own mother tongue and define the differences as awkwardness in the new language. That really isn't the best way to proceed.

When I started to learn German, it seemed awkward to me to put the verb at the end of the sentence, but as you learn more, read more, hear more and generally get more confident, you realise that this is just the way that German is structured. After a while, it seems less awkward and that's when you realise that you're on the way to fluency.

If I've completely misunderstood your question, please let me know - preferably with an example or two, to illustrate the point."
