Is "They won't tell me where is the office" correct? [duplicate]
Which sentence is correct?
They won't tell me where is the office.
They won't tell me where the office is.
The difference is between
a question in direct reported speech, or direct question
He asked: "Where is the station?"
He asked: "What are you doing this evening?"
and
a question in indirect reported speech, or indirect question
He asked where the station was/is (if the situation of the station has not changed).
He asked what I was doing that evening.
The word order in an indirect question is the word order of a declarative sentence, not of an interrogative one, that is:
Subject | (Auxiliary) | Verb | Object
There is no Auxiliary-Subject or Verb-Subject inversion as is the case in an interrogative sentence.
And there is not a question mark either.
