⇒⇒  Embedded questions

Em inglês, há duas formas de se fazer uma pergunta:

1. Invertendo a ordem do verbo ''to be'', ou seja, o verbo vai antes do sujeito.

Are you a student?

How old are you?

What time is it?

What is your mother mother's name?

2. Usando as ''embedded questions'' >> pergunta no meio de uma frase afirmativa.  Não usa inversão nem auxiliar

Interrogativa

Do you know how old they are?

Do you know what Peter does for a living?

Do you know what time it is?

A pergunta, nesses exemplos acima, é ‘’Do you know’’, por isso a segunda parte da frase não pode ser outra pergunta.

→→  Afirmativa

I have to find out where she is.

I want to know what you are thinking about.

→→  Negativa

I don't know where she went last night.

Susan didn't tell me where the kids played soccer.
