I asked him what what it was and he told me

Question

I asked him what what it was and he told meI asked him what it was and he told me that it
was Medusa.为什么这里 的was 在it之前？(what it was)不应该是what was it的吗？

Answer 1

宾语从句 引导词what，asked后面是双宾语 ，him是间接宾语，what引导的宾语从句是直接宾语，从句是以陈述句形式体现。追问

Answer 2

what it was 在句子里做宾语从句，而宾语从句的语序采用陈述句的语序追答

敬请采纳
