Embedded Questions
In direct questions with non-be, non-modal verbs, we use do/does/did: "What does she want?" When this becomes embedded, remove the auxiliary entirely: "I wonder what she wants." The main verb conjugates normally in the embedded clause: "Do you know what he said?" (not "what did he say").
