Hello,
My question is about the difference between the wh-interrogative and the nominal relative clause.
*I couldn’t remember which shelf he kept it on:
*Money is what counts.
*I can't imagine what made her do it.
*What they agreed to is OK with me.
*What he is looking for is a friend.
*How the book will sell depends on its author.
The sentences above are just some examples of wh-interrogative and a nominal relative clauses.
Would you please tell me how to differentiate between a wh-interrogative and a nominal relative clause? Is there any grammatical rule that explains why sometimes the clause is considered as a wh-interrogative clause, whilst sometimes is nominal relative clause?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
