This question came up when answering tickets today at work. A client says they've been having one singular problem across multiple entries. How should I phrase my response?
"Which entries was this happening on?"
or
"What entries was this happening on?"
Neither of these sound right. Is the issue tense? i.e.:
"Which entries has this been happening on?"
I'm pretty sure 'which' should be correct because I'm asking for specific entries from a list.
What's the correct option here?
Answer
The awkwardness comes from splitting which/what and on.
Try: On which entries did this problem occur?
or, if you like the sound of it better: For which entries did this problem happen?
"Which" is better than "What" because you are asking about specific individual entries.
