(Polite, academic, noun-clause structure — no inversion inside clause)
Then:
🎯 PART 2 — TOEFL Trap Error Version
(Real ETS-style grammar mistakes)
🔥 PART 1: Embedded Advanced Version
1️⃣ WH-Questions → Embedded
Original: Which university offers the best scholarship?
→ Could you tell me which university offers the best scholarship?
Original: Where is the meeting being held?
→ I would like to know where the meeting is being held.
Original: What time does the lecture begin?
→ Do you know what time the lecture begins?
Original: What skills will you develop?
→ I’m curious about what skills you will develop.
Original: Where are you studying this semester?
→ Could you explain where you are studying this semester?
2️⃣ Yes/No Questions → Embedded (if / whether)
Original: Have you chosen your major?
→ I was wondering whether you have chosen your major.
Original: Do you need any assistance?
→ Could you let me know if you need any assistance?
Original: Did she accept the offer?
→ I would like to know whether she accepted the offer.
Original: Do you have a study plan?
→ I’m interested in knowing whether you have a study plan.

3️⃣ Noun Clause (Advanced Formal Style)
Original: She asked where the meeting would be held.
→ She inquired about where the meeting would be held.

Reduce relative clauses when possible

Use formal verbs (inquire, clarify, confirm, debate)
