-
What's wrong with it?
➔ Question formation with 'what' and the pronoun 'it'
➔ This is a common way to ask about a problem. "What" asks for information, and "it" refers back to the shirt. The contraction 'What's' is used for a more natural flow.
-
Well, nothing's wrong with it.
➔ Negative contractions ('nothing's')
➔ "Nothing's" is a contraction of "nothing is". It's a common way to express that there is no problem. The use of 'well' is a discourse marker indicating a slight pause and consideration.
-
Do you remember when you bought it?
➔ Indirect questions with 'when'
