Direct and indirect questions

Form and meaning

If we do not begin a question directly, but begin it with something like Can you tell me...? / Do you know...? / I wonder if...? the word order is the same as in an affirmative statement.
- Direct question: What is he doing?
  Indirect question: Do you know what he is doing?
- Direct question: Where have they been?
  Indirect question: I wonder where they have been?
If the direct question contains the auxiliary do, we omit it in the indirect question.
- Direct question: What do you want?
  Indirect question: Can you tell me what you want?
- Direct question: When did she leave?
  Indirect question: Do you know when she left?
In yes / no questions, we use if or whether. The word order is the same as in reported questions.

Direct question: Have you seen my dog?
Indirect question: Could you tell me if you have seen my dog?
