the case of Women?
What is the grammar pattern for these kinds of questions? How do these work and why isn’t it included in Quora? What specific topic should be discussed for this?)
The story behind it is that by nature I guess the structure of questions are correct but my friend is asking if the two questions have the same pattern or there is something that should be changed. Who is that person? What does the structure of sentences have?
If I understand your example correctly, you’re looking at the difference between subject and compliment.
Who do you think that woman is? Who
is this woman? Should
we be able to turn these questions into statement form? We go through the question-forming rules backwards.
Can we move “who” from the front of the clause? I wanted to ask a woman: “Who does that woman really mean?” Why?
]
do you think are that woman
If we suspect that we don’t need “do” in the statement, we can simply drop it:
You think that woman is Is it me. (i-K)? How
the
native speaker’s ears reacts when the unknown is the complement rather than the subject? If I’m answering in full sentences, I’m more likely to say, for example, “That woman is the President” rather than “I think that the president is that woman.”

we have a good semantic label for this semantic term? I opened a question on ELU, but the good people there can not seem to tell the difference between that which possess a state and that which undergoes action without change. If there is a better answer to my question, I cannot write a better answer to this one.
