Qué versus Lo Que

¡Hola!

I had a quick question about using "qué" in the middle of a sentence: in order to say "I don't know what I will do," should I use "No sé lo que haré" or "No sé qué haré"? Could you please also tell me why?

¡Gracias?

No sé lo que haré. literally means, "I don't know what (that which) I will do."

"No sé ¿Qué haré"? is more like "I don't know, what will I do?" (the last part being a question.)

¡Muchas gracias! Y otra cosa - I found a line saying "No sabía qué responder." ¿Me podrías explicar por qué decimos "qué" en el lugar de "lo que" en este caso? - KRavishankar19, Dec 22, 2016
