I don't know what did I just watch.
Hello,
I have a question that's been bothering me for a bit.
Is "I don't know what did I just watch" grammatically correct?
I know that "I don't know what I just watched" is an alternative but I'm curious as to why isn't the first sentence correct (or that's what I've been told).
I need a mini-lesson if possible, thanks.
