Could you tell me...?

Do you know...?

I wonder...

Word order changes

In an indirect question we don't allow the common order of questions.

D: Where does she live?

I: Do you know where she lives?

No questions marks

even though you're asking a question, we don't use the question mark

Example:

Can you tell me when show starts

No auxiliares

Since we don't follow the same common order of questions, we don't use auxiliaries.

Example:

D: When does the film start?

I: I'd like to know when the film starts.
