How do we put an information question inside another sentence?
Textbook: p. 35. Class time: 40 minutes. Your product: a checked set of clear, polite information requests.
A Before class 课前准备
Read the four sentences in 4a. Underline what, which, how and why. Copy one whole sentence. Put brackets around the part introduced by the question word.

_____________________________________________________________________
B Notice the change 观察变化 8 minutes
Read the pairs. Underline the subject once and the verb twice inside each bracketed clause. Draw a line from the unknown information to its question word.
Direct question 直接问句 | A sentence containing the question 信息嵌入句 |
Where is the ticket? | I wonder [where the ticket is]. |
Why did she leave? | I don’t know [why she left]. |
How can I remember the names? | Could you tell me [how I can remember the names]? |
Who took the wallet? | Bob doesn’t know [who took the wallet]. |
What changes in the first three pairs? What stays the same in the final pair? Write a first rule. Do not decide that every sentence must move its subject.

Make the rule precise 把规则说清楚
C Check your discovery 核对与归纳 10 minutes
An object clause supplies the content after a verb such as know, remember, understand or tell. A question word introduces the missing information. 疑问词既连接从句，又保留“什么、哪里、为什么”等含义。
Information 信息 | Choose 选择 | Example 例句 |
A thing / a person | what / who | I wonder what she remembers. |
One item from a known set | which + noun | I can’t recall which book I borrowed. |
Time / place | when / where | Tell me where the lecture is. |
Reason / way | why / how | I understand why he feels worried. |
Rule 1 规则一: In an ordinary wh-clause, use question word + subject + verb. “Where can I go?” becomes “Could you tell me where I can go?” 从句用陈述语序，主语在谓语前。
Rule 2 规则二: Remove do / does / did when it is only helping to form the direct question. Keep the tense in the main verb: “Where did she put it?” → “I wonder where she put it.” 不删除实义动词do，如“I know what he does.”
Rule 3 规则三: If who or what is already the subject, keep it before the verb: “Who took it?” → “I don’t know who took it.” 疑问词本身作主语时，不另加一个主语，也不倒装。
Rule 4 规则四: The whole sentence decides the final punctuation. “Could you tell me where it is?” is a polite question; “I wonder where it is.” is a statement. Could makes the request polite; it does not make the event past.
D Explain one repair 解释一次修正 7 minutes
A class notice says: “Could you tell me when does the lecture start?” Repair it and explain the word order. Then complete 4b in the textbook. Compare Items 1 and 2: why is Item 2 different?
