Please today I was observed by my coordinator and she heard me asking the Ss
What would be the correct answer?
She told me to find out if it is correct or not so I asume she means that is not correct but I do not know why  Thanks |

What would be the correct answer is perfect.
(Tell your coordinator that you got it from a native speaker. Sounds like this person just wants to make you feel unsure about yourself. Don �t be!)

She may be looking for "What is the correct answer?" "What would be...?" leaves the impression that the correct answer could be different depending on different influences or conditions.
"If it was Sunday, the answer would be that there is no school today."
"If it was Monday, the answer would be that there is school today."

the correct form is "what would the correct answer be? because the correct answer is the subject. |

I agree with Libertybelle! Being a coordinator myself, I �d never point that out to any of the teachers !! IMHO you should tell her the "correct" form, anyway, just to keep her happy .... and then tell her that a native speaker told you it IS correct ! She may learn sth too ! |

The difference is between what is grammatically correct (What would the correct answer be?) and what everybody would say (what would be the correct answer? )
Both would be possible, I think.
You form the conditional interrogative by changing the order of the subject, isn �t it?
Ex: What would you say? What would the solution be? where would you go... ?
Am I wrong? |

Hi,
The typical word order in a question would be "helper - subject - verb", unless it �s a subject question, which has no helper.
I think the real challenge here is to explain to your teacher why you chose your version ;o)))) and to convince her (it �s a "she", right? ;o))) that you knew the other one as well.
