Here are different Wh-questions words:

4 Where's the museum?
5 When is the drinking party?
6 Which book is mine?
7 Why are you late?

To change Wh-questions (direct questions) using the be verb to indirect questions, the word order changes. The be verb now comes after the noun and we add in front of the wh-question word one the following expressions --- could you tell me, do you know...
Indirect question formation - polite questions
1 Could you tell me what your name is?
Could you tell me what your name (2) is (1)?
