问题描述：
The headmaster came up to see (what was the mater)(what the matterwas)哪个对
理由是什么?
答
同二楼
答
what was the matter
what 在这里做主语，从句不用倒装
答
应该是．．．what was the matter
虽然做从句 但不用倒装 固定用法 与其他从句不同
如果是在who he was 和who was he中选 就选who he was
但what was the matter是例外
如果选what the matter was 意思就是 ”这是什么物质” 而不是”怎么回事”
仅供参考．．．由于离学这个的时间有点远，所以不是很肯定，但有这个印象
答
The headmaster came up to see what the matter was.
理由：复句裏的从句用陈述句语序。
答
很简单的：校长过来看 .
what was the mater?对.
what the matter was?也对.（表示强调和惊讶）
这两者和中文中的用法一样,
上面的还号称专家,
汗.
如果你还是拿不定主意,
可以去问问你们老师.
答
同意一楼。
校长上来查看是怎么回事，看看孩子到底闯了什么祸。
如选what the matter was就是for the issue itself, not for "what's going on".
