Grammar
I heard these during a sports broadcast
Hello,
Can you help me with these please?
If someone is at a sports arena, and someone wants to know where they were prior to there, would this question be correct?
What did you walk into this arena from doing?
If a dad is watching a basketball game, his son is on one team and his nephew on the other
You have to wonder where his rooting interests are
You have to wonder, where are his rooting interests?
His rooting interest are whichever team his son plays for.
About 2 players that were so good at basketball, the NBA had to change some of the rules so that other players could have a chance against them.
Someone during an interview asks one of the player for whom the rules were changed :
How did they change the rules for you?
What rules did they change for/because of you?
What rule changes were made for/because of you?
Which question is the correct one in this context?
Is this sentence grammatical? Which is correct?
Someone during an interview asks one of the players for/because of whom the rules were changed :
Thank you
