[Soup]

Ok, thank you!

Another thing...
Could you tell me which the correct form is?
Is it a correct form?

The subject is which form,

• Could you tell me which form is correct?
• Could you tell me which correct form is best.
• Could you tell me which correct form is?

Some writers say that when the question asks for a subject answer (as in Which form is the correct one? - This form is the correct one) rather than a complement answer (What's the time? - The time is eight o'clock), then there are two possible word orders:

Which form is correct?
1. Can you tell me which is the correct form?
2. Can you tell me which the correct form is.

If you are a learner, the safest 'rules' are those suggested by Soup and me. Just be aware that you may encounter sentences, such as #1 which do not follow the rules. Don't worry - #2 is acceptable.

Oh my God!
I am a disaster!

I am a disaster!

No, you are not. Your 'Could you tell me which the correct form is?' was correct and natural. The sentence that Soup correctly put a by was incorrect because there was no 'the' in front of 'correct' .

If you found my last post confusing, ignore it. I wrote that only because some learners become unhappy when they hear a native speaker saying something that they (the learners) believe to be incorrect.
