Which one is correct?

Question

"I am not what has happened to him" or "I am not sure what happened to him".

Fivejedjon · Accepted Answer

Only the second makes sense.

Nugso · Answer

Assuming you meant I am not sure what has happened to him, then I think both can be correct.

Suraj Jaldu"I am not sure what has happened to him" or "I am not sure what happened to him".

Both are completely correct.

The first might refer to the way he looks now. Maybe his face is scratched and his clothes are torn.
I'm not sure what has happened to him.

The second might refer to some past event. Maybe he disappeared years ago and nobody has seen him for a long time.
I'm not sure what happened to him.
___________________________

Just guessing, I would assume that for most situations we typically encounter in real life, the second one would more often be the appropriate form.
