What makes me happy

[Talab1234]

1. My friends are what makes me happy.
2. My friends are what make me happy.
3. My friends are that what makes me happy.
4. My friends are that which makes me happy.


Are these sentences grammatically correct?

I would only use #1.

Talab1234, I see you posted the same thread here.

Please don't post the same question to different forums simultaneously. Post on one forum only, wait for responses and then, only if you are disappointed with/confused by the responses (or there aren't any), post on another forum and include a link to the first forum thread.

I don't think #1 is wrong.

My friends are what (the thing that) makes me happy.

#1 isn't wrong. In fact, I prefer 1 over 2, since I can't help reading the sentence as an answer to the question What makes you happy?
