I found such two sentences in a textbook named "Oxford English", which is used to teach junior students English.
Can I borrow your typewriter for a couple of days?
(S1 doesn't feel well.) S2 asks S1 what the matter is.
All the underlined parts are in fact against the grammar I've learned before.
I would say: Can I keep your typewriter for a couple of days.
S2 asks S1 what is the matter.
So are the sentences right or not?
Thanks for your replies!
