Why do I like him? Can someone explain me why?
As far as my knowledge goes, the point ‘why’ in this case functions as a relative pronoun introducing a clause. If there is a clause, how shall ‘why’ form a clause? As for the second clause, I am just unsure whether it is grammatically accurate or at least acceptable to phrase it in a question form (with the do verb coming after the relative pronoun? Which is correct form? And if one of them were incorrect, could anyone explain to me why?
Why is there this long unanswered question. “What does it mean to be a Christian?” This is a good question.
I don’t know why I like him so much, I must say with a complete shock.
Why did this clause “I like him” appear? Normal English uses don’t allow join statements and questions. In essence, an implied conjunction has been elided from the sentence, which could read as:
“I have no idea why, but] I like him so much.”
I
have no idea why I like cheryl in a relationship or, my boyfriend loves me more than I like him] It is that he likes me so a lot.
In practice of course, your (second) phrasing is much more likely than either of those above, which are a bit stilted unless you’re looking for a subtle change of emphasis.
