Correct me if I am wrong. What grammatical rule each of these interrogative sentences falls into? Hold on a second, I suddenly realized something.
6) Right- What rule each of these sentences falls into?
6) Wrong- What rule does each of these sentences fall into?7) Right- Which one of you wants to go to prison?
7) Wrong- Which one of you does want to go to prison?
