Is that sentence correct?

This reminds me of a joke. An Australian is visiting a pub in England, and after a few drinks he feels the call of nature. He asks the bartender: "Oi mate, you mind telling me where the toilet’s at?" Bartender: "Around here, we don't end our sentences with prepositions." Australian: "All right, you mind telling me where the toilet’s at, a**ehole?”

*Is **this** sentence correct? Yes, it's a grammatically correct sentence. "What do you think is the best item?" is also correct.

Oh are they both correct? How could they be both correct?

Its correct, however i wpuld say food instead of item... however it is correct

The two G’s are the correct answer. You’d usually ask B after saying either one of the G’s.

As native speaker, I would be more likely to say the sentence on the page (What do you think the best item is). Your way is correct also, but I wouldn't usually say it like that.

either is correct. there is a rule that you should not end a sentence in a proposition. "What do you think the best item ***is***? so people would rewrite that as you have: "What do you think is the best item? but that rule was never really part of English. it was proposed by a person who thought it was inelegant to put a preposition at the end.

Yours is slightly more correct, but since this is clearly intended as a casual conversation rather than formal writing either version is fine.

Both are fine. Some people say you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition(like 'is'), but no one likes those people.

"What do you think the best item is?" "What do you think is the best item?" "Which item is the best?" "What's the best item?" "What do you like best?" "What's the best?" "What's good?" "What's your favorite?" "wadiyalike?"

FYI: the last sentence is incorrect because "gimbap" should not be capitalized.

I'd say the highlighted version but either works.

They both sound fine. Only thing is that I wouldn’t normally use “item” in every day conversation.

It’s perfectly fine. There are about a dozen other equally correct ways to say the same thing.

The sentence is correct, but the Gimbap isn’t. If my school cafeteria was anything like yours, at least.

Both versions are very ordinary and acceptable.

I can only say that I won't write like this...

That depends on whether you parse “what” as the subject (“What do you think is the best item?” —> “I think the pizza is the best item”) or the complement (“What do you think the best item is?” —> “I think the best item is the pizza”). Either is grammatically correct.

It's technically incorrect because prepositions used to not be allowed at the end of the sentence but no one cared about that rule so we have no restriction on that

"What's your favorite dish?" would be more natural to ask.

The example in the book is correct and more commonly used. Your substitution isn't wrong, just less common.

The "never end a sentence with a preposition" crowd would say this is incorrect. The "was is absolutely goddamn clear what I was trying to say?" crowd would say it's fine.

Noun-verb inversion is normal practice in questions. People will understand if the verb is first but ending it with "is" more natural to me as native speaker.

What / who is Gimbap?

Yes this is not just common, but an example of how English seemingly likes to take every word and keep changing its position based on context. Verbs are not static, in fact almost nothing is.

What do you think - question form. The best item is - object - positive.

Reading this as a native English speaker and my brain is going fuzzy… aren’t they both totally correct? How could one be wrong?

This is an example of an indirect question or embedded question. Typically, with simple questions, we use inversion. The book is long. Is the book long? It's more complicated with other questions, but inversion is still happening. Indirect questions have a question embedded in a sentence or another question. They typically start with expressions like: Do you know...? Can you tell me...? I know/don't know... The embedded questions don't use inversion. For example: Is the book long? I don't know if the book is long. Where did he go? Do you know where he went? What time is it? Can you tell me what time it is? This is technically the rule for forming indirect questions, so yes the highlighted sentence is correct. But in real usage we all understand if you keep the inversion, and some people have an aversion to ending sentences with "is." If we change the question, you can see that inversion is sometimes completely unnatural. 1. What did he do yesterday? 2. What do you think he did yesterday? 3. What do you think did he do yesterday? 1 and 2 are okay, but most native speakers would never say 3, and probably perceive it as wrong.

Both are correct. The highlighted one on the quiz is somewhat more likely to be used by a native speaker, yours sounds just slightly clunky, but it is correct.

Yes you are. You cant ask two questions in a sentence, use noun clause to make it complete
