Indirect statements and questions

So! Lets review before starting exercising!

Remember that we use indirect questions whenever we need or want to be politely formal, you include phrases like Do you mind telling me.... ,  Can you please...., Could you tell me...

So basically it is putting a question inside a question... its like inception (: If for example you want to ask where is Mc Donalds, you wont go and ask a Where is McDonalds to who ever is near.You of course will be shy and ask a nice " Would you mind telling where McDonalds is?"

Please take into account that I placed the "is" or verb to be at the end and that is because the structure of the questions is 
Polite something to not intimidate + question+ verb to be
