What should I do next? (should is a modal verb; this sentence is a question)

 

[emsr2d2]

Remember the rule that if the sentence ends with a question mark, we reverse the order of the person and the verb.

I don't know what I should do now.
What should I do now?

I have no idea what the time is.
What is the time?

I asked you what that policeman was doing.
What was that policeman doing?

I know/I do know.
Do I know?

No. There is no inversion in this sentence. We normally invert subject and verb only in direct questions, as emsr2d2 suggested.
