Hello,

I have a question : Can you say "What will be the worst experience in my life ?" or do you have to say "What will the worst experience in my life be ?". Is there any rule for that ?
  

Top answer

Hey, I'd stick to the second construction What will the worst experience of my life be? Because, when we have a question we have: Question word + auxiliary verb + subjct + verb. I don't say for example: When does come she?
