🌟 Expert question: Type of subordinate clause?

Hello,

I noticed this sentence:

"I wonder how many times you want to tell that joke."

The actual task was to place a comma, and I did that. I also wanted to specify the type of subordinate clause.

"Object sentence" came to mind. I wanted to be sure, so I asked if that was correct.

My German teacher says it's an interrogative sentence, acting as an object clause. He also cited specific sources.

Is this all correct? Is there anything I need to add, or is it incorrect? Can you help me?

Thank you very much for any answers! 🙂

1. Auxiliary rate as an indirect interrogative rate (= in direct question, therefore no question mark)

had already shown how the relationship of the indirect question to the direct ftage looks.

So your side set is a narrated (= indirect) question:

What did I ask? -> … you often want to tell this joke.

“how” here refers only to “often”, ie only to the number of repetitions and otherwise has no function.

2.) To species of the subset:

There is the same answer to a question of a different category:

Who or what I wonder?: I wonder -> … how often you want to tell this joke.

The entire auxiliary set is therefore in the battery and thus sets an Object set in.

What do you ask? 1 = 2, the interrogative set is an object set

direct question set

  • How often do you want to tell that joke?
  • When were you born?
  • Do you have education ?
  • Can you swim well?
  • Do you often go to the movies?

indirect question

  • I wonder how many times you want to tell this joke.
  • I want to know when you were born.
  • Can you tell me what training you have?
  • I also care whether: you can swim well. (Decision question: if)
  • Please tell me. whether: you often go to the movies.

Question set = Interrogative set

  • There is information . The start with a Question pronomous (= Interrogative pronouns), eg: Where, where, what, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, when, how, how long, how late, how much, why, why, why, why, what, what, what, what, etc.? The answer to this is information. If there was no "as" in your source, it's because, of course, only a few examples are given, but not all question pronouns are listed.
  • There are decisions . They begin in the main sentence, in other words in the direct question, with a verb, eg: Go you Christmas in the church?” In the subjunction, i.e. in the indirect question, they begin with the subjunction (=subjunction) whether: , for example: I want to know whether: you go to church for Christmas. Direct questions are terminated with a question mark, indirect questions with one point.

There is no "either interrogative set or object set". Your complete set is an indirect interrogative set and the supplement (after the comma) is an object set.

That's all in your hand. My nickname is known, but not yours.

I can't do that if you were unable to understand my original answer based on the example sentences. I am also disgusting, which is not to be understood (being) in the following detailed explanation of the interrogative rate (information questions, decision-making).

It was stupid of me that I spent my time even more. But this is how it is now with some questioners on GF. The fact that you don't call your nickname actually speaks for itself.

You, honestly, I don't want to see what you wrote somewhere anymore. At some point, I always end up with a topic where one repeats and repeats and …

I'm sorry.

I may have said that misunderstood.

I've told you several times that Interrogative set Question means no more and no less.

An indirect question rate/an indirect interrogative rate is always a secondary rate, since it is a Main sentence is initiated:

  • I want to know where you come from.
  • Can you tell me? Where are you from?
  • Please tell me where you come from.

The above indirect interrogative sets are object sets, because they have the meaning of Object s:

  • I want your residence to know.
  • Can you get it? en place of residence say?
  • Please tell me where to stay .

The Interrogative set (= Question sentence) can be a main set or an auxiliary set.

You need to distinguish between

  • direct question rate = main sentence: "Where do you come from? Are you married?"
  • and indirect question rate = sideline: "I want to know, : you Come on . I also care whether: you are married you are ."
