Do you know where … is?
間接問句
Indirect questions — English grammar, junior high
接續
Do you know／I don't know／Can you tell me ＋ 疑問詞 ＋ 主詞 ＋ 動詞（直述句語序）・沒有疑問詞時用 if／whether
Do you know / I don't know / Can you tell me + question word + subject + verb (statement order) · no question word: if / whether
說明
問句放在另一個句子裡時，要改成直述句的語序，不再倒裝：Where is the station? → Do you know where the station is? 一般動詞的 do／does 也要拿掉：What does he want? → I don't know what he wants.
A question inside another sentence goes back to statement order: Where is the station? → Do you know where the station is? Drop do / does too: What does he want? → I don't know what he wants.
注意事項
- 是非問句改成間接問句用 if：Is she coming? → I'm not sure if she is coming.Yes / no questions use if: Is she coming? → I'm not sure if she is coming.
常見錯誤
- ✗ Do you know where is the bathroom?
✓ Do you know where the bathroom is?
間接問句用直述句語序。Indirect questions use statement order. - ✗ I don't know what does she like.
✓ I don't know what she likes.
拿掉 does，動詞加 -s。Drop does and add -s to the verb.
例句
