Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct structure of the question should be "Where should I put it?" with the inversion of the noun phrase "I" and the auxiliary verb "should." Children who produce "Where I should put it?" have failed to properly invert the noun phrase and auxiliary verb using the transformational rule of noun phrase-auxiliary inversion.
