For today’s English lesson, let’s have a look at embedded questions. An embedded question is when we take a question and embed it or put it inside a sentence. For example, “Where is Jack?” That’s a question. “I wonder where Jack is.” That’s an embedded question. There are a couple of rules that you need to know to make one of these embedded questions and that’s what we’re going to check out today. So, let’s get to it!
