Embedded questions, also known as indirect questions, are questions that are embedded within a statement or another question. They are used to ask for information in a more polite or indirect way.
The word order in embedded questions is typically the same as in direct questions, with the question word (who, what, when, where, why, how) followed by the subject and verb. There is no inversion of subject and auxiliary verb as in direct questions.
For example:
Direct question: "What time does the movie start?"
Embedded question: She wants to know what time the movie starts.
