一个关于英语的疑问what do you think为什么加are

Question

what do you think are the most important things I need to learn about painting?
就这个句子。我怎么想也想不通

Answer 1

了解一下变疑问句的过程就可以想通了。
陈述句是一个带宾语从句的句子：I think these are the most important things you need to learn about painting.
提问的是从句主语。将疑问词what提到句子前面，主句改为疑问形式，即加do，并对人称作相应的改变，即成what do you think are the most important things I need to learn about painting?

Answer 2

what do you think are the most important things I need to learn about painting?

do you think 是插入语，翻译成“你认为。。。。”如果把它提出来你就好理解了

(do you think) what are the most important things I need to learn about painting?
你认为，什么才是学画画过程中最重要的东西？本回答被提问者采纳

Answer 3

这个are是针对things而言的，things复数所以用are....
