    The document discusses direct and indirect questions in English. For direct questions, the golden sequence is auxiliary + subject + verb (+rest). For indirect questions, the sequence is the same but the question is turned into a statement using connectors like "if" for yes/no questions or leaving the question as a statement. Examples are provided for turning direct questions like "Do we have any pizza?" into indirect questions like "Do you know if we have any pizza?".
