Uses
When and why do we use embedded questions in English?
1. To be more polite
What time is it? (normal question)
Could you (please) tell me what time it is? (embedded question
= more polite)
Note
Don’t use contractions at the end of an embedded clause. (Tell
students this follows the same rule as short answers in English—we
can say Yes, he is but we can never say Yes, he’s.)
Do you know what time it is?
Do you know what time it’s?
