- ACould you tell me where the museum is?
Разбор
In an embedded (indirect) question the word order is that of a statement: question word + subject + verb, with no inversion and no auxiliary do/does/did. In «Could you tell me where the museum is?» the subject «the museum» comes before the verb «is», so it is correct. «Do you know where is the nearest bank?» keeps the inverted order «where is the bank». In «I wonder what time does the film start.» the auxiliary «does» is unnecessary and the order is wrong; it should be «what time the film starts». In «Tell me what are you looking for.» the order should be «what you are looking for».
