    This document discusses how to form embedded questions in English. It explains that embedded questions can be yes/no questions or WH questions. For WH questions, the WH word simply moves to the front of the embedded question. For yes/no questions, "if/whether" is used instead of repeating the verb. The word order also changes with BE verbs and helping verbs moving later in the sentence for embedded questions. Examples are provided for both WH questions and yes/no questions as standalone questions or embedded questions.

    Embedded Questions!

    When you make embedded Qs, ask yourself what kind of question it is. Is it Yes/No, or a
    WH question. Is it used with BE verb or Do/Does/Did? If/Whether is used in Yes/No Qs,
    while in Do/Does/Did sentences, you drop the Do/Does/Did and maybe change the verb.
    The word order can also change with BE verbs and helping Verbs moving back in the
    sentence.
