Prep2008说：
1.    what引导的名词性从句中从句谓语动词的单复数情况：
what后面“什么时候用单数,什么时候用复数”根据动词后面的名词的单复数来定.
2.    what引导的名词性从句做主语时，主句谓语动词的单复数情况：
(1)What在从句中做主语，主句谓语由what从句的谓语决定。
           1) What is difficult to understand is A.；What are difficult to understand are A and B.
(2)what在从句中做宾语，主句谓语由主句表语/宾语决定what they want are XX,XX&XX。
2) What his father left him are a few English books.


照这样看来，这里谓语应该用come，因为后面studies是复数啊~~~

NN，你们在哪里？~~

这里应该是单数，因为what等于the knowledge that，所以用单数。这里的谓语是come from，即主语和宾语可以不等同，单复数也可以不一致。而上面列举的what的数的例子是在be系表结构里的，主语和表语必须等同，单复数必须一致。
