Your problem is with question marks, which you don't seem to use often.

The word order is the difference between the question form (What should I do?) and the statement form (I'm torn about what I should do. Oh, I know what I should do-- I should study harder.) None of the latter end with a question mark.

Difference between, Question marks, Word order

sorry for my error .

so in the statement i'm confused on what i should do .

in question form : should i get a macbook?

but how about this: i'm wondering what jack is doing right now. Is this a question or a statement or is it supposed to be like this : i'm wondering what is jack doing right now

I'm wondering what Jack is doing right now.

This is a statement. It ends in a period. Word order is S-V.
