※ 引述《flandre (ToujoursN N  )》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《Whitman (.)》之銘言：
: : how (副詞)many(形容詞) people 當主詞,不用再加助動詞?
: : -> How many people participate in the program .
: : _______________ __________
: : S V
: 我覺得這句已經是一個子句了(ex: Do you know "how many people participate
: in the program?") 單獨不能當疑問句 所以原po寫法是錯的喔
個人認為原po的句子應該沒這麼大的問題，
頂多時態改為過去式比較恰當吧~
即： How many people participated in the program?
當然，時態隨情境而定，也不是非得過去式不可.....
至於含有wh疑問的詞組當主詞的情況，這可是合語法的喲~
下列是取自外國人的英文：
1. How many unlucky convicts lack the services of a generous counsel?
^^^^^^^^
[ NP as Subj ] V.
2. How many entries on the police national computer are deleted each week?
^^^^^^^^
[ NP as Subj ] V
上面句子中how many都是修飾主詞，主詞(應該)沒有移位，
所以助動詞/be動詞沒有倒裝的現象.....
不見得要化為there are的疑問句....
