We use embedded questions in a couple of different ways:
1) When we are asking a question more politely. E. G. Could you tell me where the metro station is?
2) When you are reporting back what question someone asked. E. G. She asked me where the metro station is.
These are called information questions.
3)When you are reporting back questions with if/whether & the answer can be answered yes or no. E. G. She asked me if I could tell her where the metro is. The answer would be: Yes, I can or No, I can't.
