Hi All,

I would appreciate some help with the following:

They are friends.

How would you phrase a Wh-subject question? The "grammatical" option sounds 
awkward compared to "be" in plural form.
Could the problem be a predicate which includes a noun phrase? Or a plural 
noun phrase?  (in contrast to an adjective or Be+Ving...)
I can't put my "linguistic" finger on neither the problem nor the solution.

Asking your helpful advice.
