Say we have the following sentence :
The further information I need is to know in which building is the class held.
Is it grammatically correct to place "is" where it's placed in the sentence, or should it be moved after the word "class", like this:
...in which building the class is held.
The sentence isn't interrogative, so my guess is the second variant is fine, but sometimes I become quite dubious(this time, for example).
You do need an "is" in your sentence.
The information I need to know in which building is the class held.
Is definitely incomplete. The "is" is part of the direct object - there's no main verb.
SUBJECT: The information that I need to know
PREDICATE VERB: _________(is)_______________
PREDICATE NOUN: (the question itself: "In which building is the class held")
Therefore,
The information I need to know is in which building is the class held.
