Hi,

I would like to know how you will express the following English
sentence in Japanese. (As I don't know Japanese, I'd like you to write
in Roman letters with
corresponding gloss. )


1. Where do you think that he has gone?

kare dokoni ittato omoimasuka?


Note that the Wh-word "where" is "moved" from inside the embedded
clause, specifically, after "gone", and construed with it.


Now, in English, we cannot move a Wh-word from inside the adverbial
clause (but we can do so in a complement clause like 1 above):


2. *Where do you think that he was unhappy because he saw his enemy?

karega tekini deatte fushiawase ni nattanowa dokodato omoimasuka?
