The first contains a comparison/contrast, which is the only attempt at justifying this I can think of. | |

| Apr 27, 2023 at 20:31 | comment | added | John Lawler | What we would need soon is from We would need X soon, where X comes out as what. In other words, there's a noun between need and soon, but only its gap remains to separate those two words. But it does indeed separate them, and in fact need soon is not a constituent and doesn't follow the rules you were thinking of. | |
