Shaky on the rule?
Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Indirect questions lesson — An indirect question embeds a question inside a polite opener or statement — 'Could you tell me where the station is?' The embedded clause uses statement word order (subject before verb) and drops the auxiliary do/does/did. Yes/no questions embed with if or whether. Indirect questions sound softer and more polite than direct ones.
