Clive1. Only in Scotland ___ produce original malt whisky.
To this question, Could you please tell me why (say why you chose) did you choose do they?

Only . . . . do . . . is a fixed, standard structure.

eg Only in China do they speak Mandarin.
eg Only with Mary did I feel true happiness.

This is an example of why I said this was an advanced-level test.

Clive
Thanks for replying to my post.

Yes, This was is an advance level test.

What is the difference between the following two sentences?

1. Why did you choose ABC?

2. Why you chose ABC?

Thank you.
Students: We have free audio pronunciation exercises.
#1 is a correct direct question.
#2 is not.

You need to review the word order that is used for direct and indirect questions.

Clive
Thanks for your response Clive.

But in the above thread you were recommending me to use, why you chose.

To this question, Could you please tell me why (say why you chose) did you choose do they?

Thank you.
Could you please tell me why did you choose do they?
The underlined part is not a direct question.
You need to say
Could you please tell me why you chose do they?

Clive
Students: Are you brave enough to let our tutors analyse your pronunciation?
