 Subject: Question Words in Non-Questions  Thu 26 Dec - 12:11 |

Often, we use question words like how or why in sentences that are not questions. When we do this, it's easy to make a mistake and maintain the same word order we use for questions. Here are some examples of the difference:
How did we do it?
They want to know how we did it.
Why am I here?
I don't know why I'm here.
Where are you?
I'm asking where you are.
What is it?
I want to know what it is.
You can see that in these sentences, we have to change the word order.
Another example of this is How I Met Your Mother. The question form would be: how did I meet your mother? We often use this structure for titles, like Why You Should Eat More Ice Cream, or Where I Found The Nicest People in the World, or Why Cats Paint.
