English Grammar Pattern 44
Question + Preposition + Noun
Model Sentence
"What's the reason for doing it this way?
This grammar pattern begins with a full question, not just a question word. In the Model
Sentence, "What's the reason" is a question. Then "doing it this way" is a noun. Between
the question and the noun, we have a preposition "for" to link the two. This is not a very
easy pattern, but it's quite useful!
