Embedded Information Questions

 

  • Embedded Information Questions

  • Embedded information questions use a question word. Do not use question word order in embedded questions. Use normal word order (wh-word + subject + verb).

    Regular questionWhere can I recycle glass bottles?
    Embedded question: Do you know where I can recycle glass bottles? 

    If an information question contains a wh-word and do, remove do from the embedded question. 
    -Regular question: Where does she live?
    -Embedded question: Can you tell me where she lives?
  • How can we reduce plastic waste?Do you know how we can reduce plastic waste? 
    Why is the greenhouse effect a threat to the environment?Do you understand why the greenhouse effect is a threat to the environment?
  • Remember! An embedded information question is a type of noun clause. (relative pronoun + subject + verb)
