Hi--
I am unsure if I have formulated this correctly, because it has both a present and past tense verb in a row. I am not sure what this is even called, so I didn't know what to look up in my grammar sources.
I want to say: What did Ben say happened to Tom. (For clarity, something bad happened to Tom, and Ben was lying about it)
Qu'est-ce que Ben dit qui s'est passé à Tom. (I used qui instead of que, thinking that it is a subject...otherwise I'd have used que)
Qu'est-ce que Ben dit s'est passé à Tom. (quite literal from English, and likely not correct)
Thanks!
