❌ Can you tell me where do you work?
Cette phrase semble correcte, mais elle contient une erreur !
✅ Can you tell me where you work?
Pourquoi ?
Après des expressions comme :
✔️ Can you tell me...
✔️ Do you know...
✔️ Could you explain...
✔️ I wonder...
on utilise une embedded question (question intégrée).
Dans une embedded question, on ne met pas l'ordre interrogatif (do/does/did + sujet + verbe).
👉 Question directe : Where do you work?
👉 Question intégrée : Can you tell me where you work?
Autres exemples :
❌ Do you know where does she live?
✅ Do you know where she lives?
❌ Can you tell me what time does the meeting start?
✅ Can you tell me what time the meeting starts?
💡 Astuce : Après Can you tell me...? ou Do you know...?, utilisez l'ordre d'une phrase normale :
Question word + subject + verb
➡️ where you work
➡️ where she lives
➡️ what time the meeting starts
