Recasting is a wonderful tool to help parse a sentence. I would like to go back to my old construction, with this example:
Soojin is one of those posters who ask questions vs Soojin is one of those posters who asks questions
Recast that, if you please: Of the posters who ask questions, soojin is one.
Who's gonna argue with that?

I don¡¯t know which is the subject, what or matter. But He asked me what was the matter with me is natural for me. Thank you very much.
Dear AnnaStrophic,
Don't confuse me, please.

I did not intend to confuse you, soojin. I was bringing up a discussion from another part of this forum, for other participants to see. This is a fairly common thing to do here at AWAD. My apologies.
