I just found out that you don't change the location of ‘be’ when there's an adjective even in affirmative sentences. Am I right?
For example: He walks out to find out what's suspicious.
Idk for whatever reason “what suspicious is” sounds wrong to me
However with verbs and nouns it sounds perfectly normal:
I don't know what your problem is
I wonder why he left his job

Correct. It's subject-verb relationships that count, not modifiers.
The only exception that comes to mind is the case where the adjective is a reference to itself as a word and is therefore not a modifier.
