• Indirect Questions (Noun Clauses): When a question is embedded within a statement (an indirect question), we do not use the question form (Verb + Subject). Instead, we use the statement form (Subject + Verb).

  • Direct Question: Where is he hiding?

  • Indirect Question: No one knows where he is hiding.

• The "Where" Clause: In this sentence, "where he is hiding" acts as a noun clause (the object of the verb "knows"). In such clauses, the auxiliary verb (is) must come after the subject (he).
