Can we break down this sentence? I mean, this sentence has one clause and what about if I interpret this sentence into

What I want to know ( that It ) is your real intention.

Is it correct ?

No, not at all. Take it for what it is:

[What I want to know] is [your real intention] = The information that I want to know is your real intention.

Thanks! I've been fairly active as a mod, but until recently haven't really felt up to posting. A mild case of poster's block, maybe.
