Typically we would like to make use of a question as a part of another query or a statement. This is called an embedded query.

1: We will use embedded questions as part of different questions. That is generally called an indirect question and is commonly used to be polite. - Regular query: Where is the station?
- Oblique query (that includes an embedded question): Might you tell me where the station is?


See my page about oblique questions for more information.

2: We can even use embedded questions as part of statements. The embedded query is a noun clause and could be utilized in a similar method to a noun. For example, we can use it as the topic or the item of the primary clause. - Normal query: Where does she work?
- Embedded query in a assertion: I do not know where she works. (Here 'the place she works' is the object.)


- Regular query: Where does she work?
- Embedded question in a statement: Where she works could be very far. (Right here 'the place she works' is the subject.)


Forming embedded questions
We use the identical rules with embedded questions in statements as we do with embedded questions in oblique questions. 1. If there's a question phrase, we keep it.
2. If there isn't any question word, we use 'if' or 'whether'.
3. We use normal sentence grammar (so we do not need 'do / does / did').
4. We use regular sentence word order (topic + verb, pens.ac.id not the opposite).
5. We use a full cease and never a query mark at the tip of the sentence.


- Wonder: I ponder why she said that.
- Know: They don't know what they're doing.
- Remember: We do not remember where the house is.
- Be sure: I am not sure when we'll arrive.
- Find out: Let's find out what time the show starts.
- Assume about: She's interested by how she's going to do it.
- Neglect: I've forgotten why I began this.


Topic questions
In case you start with a topic question, you don't need to alter the grammar a lot, as a result of it's already much like a assertion. (Learn more about topic questions right here.) - Normal topic query: Who loves Julie?
- Embedded subject query: I do not know who loves Julie.


- Regular topic question: What occurred?
- Embedded subject query: We're trying to find out what occurred.
