|
Who invented paper? Explanation: For Q1: They are correct. As for "2) 你知道紙是誰發明的?" -- You can also translate it to "Do you know by whom paper was invented" or "Do you know who was the person inventing paper". For Q2: Would anyone every say or write 紙是誰發明的? -- Yes, we say this because when we ask "你知道紙是誰發明的嗎", the answerer may reply "Yes, I know" while not saying out the name of the inventor unless we directly ask "紙是誰發明的". |
