Grammar
Interrogative clause is equivalent to a followed noun
Below is sentences I found on the internet.
In each sentence, a underlined 'whether' or interrogative clause is equivalent to a followed noun in bold.
pattern #1 - the interrogative content clause without 'of'
1)We need to analyze the cause why we failed.
2)John raised the question when the money would be collected.
3)The question arose who was to receive him.
4)The key question what caused the leak remains unanswered.
5)Can you give me a general idea when it will be done.
6)I have only a vague notion why she washes for a living.
pattern #2 - the whether clause without 'of'
7)Nobody can be sure of the possibility whether he will show up.
pattern #3 - 'interrogative plus infinitive' without 'of'
8)Our previous meeting looked at the issue how to increase income.
Are the above sentences proper and Is this method indicating the equal to a followed noun without 'of' often used in the spoken English?
In advance, Thank you for your help.
