Also, When we use Why, we have to write the helping verb before or after the subject/ object?

thanx in advance

Why don't you bring the book? It's a question and the helping verb is before the subject and it's correct. When you say "Why you don't bring the book" it's not a question. Better to say like this: Tell me why you don't bring the book" and it'll be correct too.
