In another forum I was reading a thread related to the inversion of subject - verb in subordinate clause. A question was asked there -
1. What is the difference between these two sentences -
a) I know who is my friend.
b) I know who my friend is.
I know that there is no difference in meaning, and also I was sure that only sentence #b is correct and sentence #a is wrong. But in that thread it says both of them is correct, and it sites an widely used example -
c) I know who my friend is and who is not.
Now I am curious to know when to use the inversion? Please help.
