Hi,

please just I wanna to ask...about this sentenses..

*{Do you know where he is OR do you know where is he} which one is correct..why???

thanx a lot

Only #1 is correct.

The question word order only applies to the main clause (Do you know. . . . .?)

'Where he is' is a subordinate noun clause, and does not use the question word order.

The structure is 'Do you know (something)?'

eg Do you know Tom?

eg Do you know his name?

eg Do you know where he is?

Consider that you can also say things like

eg Tom is not important.

eg His name is not important.

eg Where he is is not important.
