Here are different Wh-questions words:
How....? How many ....? How much ....? What for ....?
2 Who is your technical teacher? 3 Where's the bathroom? 4 Where's the museum? 5 When is the drinking party? 6 Which book is mine? 7 Why are you late? 8 How tall are you? 9 How much are the tomatoes? To change Wh-questions (direct questions) using the be verb to indirect questions, the word order changes. The be verb now comes after the noun and we add in front of the wh-question word one the following expressions --- could you tell me, do you know...
1 Could you tell me what your name is? 2 Do you know who your technical teacher is? 3 Can you tell me where the bathroom is? 4 Do you know where the museum is? 5 Would you mind telling me when the drinking party is? 6 Do you know which book is mine? 7 Could you tell me why you are late? 8 Can you tell me how tall you are? 9 Can you tell me how much the tomatoes are? 4 CommentsLeave a comment | |

If this is a rule for creating indirect Wh-questions then how come the word order for this sentence is not changed. Example: Do you know which ring is cheaper? Is it the comparative cheaper that changes this rule?

Not sure Reema, but it does follow the rule (#6) where the question starts with WHICH.... I wonder if there are other exceptions.

When you say "Could you tell me which room I can use?" It is just a polite question. When you use "Which room CAN I use?" You are saying "Well all the rooms seem to be full so which one CAN I use?"
