(2) Oscar thinks that Sarah likes musicals
(3) Oscar enquires whether Sarah likes musicals

- Make any further changes that are necessary to obtain exactly the f-structure (10) on p. 101 for (1)-(2).
- Extend your grammar to predict the following facts:
For sentence (3), you should obtain an f-structure which is identical to that of sentence (1), with the exception that the CLTYPE of (3) should be INTER.
Now make sure that your grammar does not license the following example:
