A inversão do auxiliar todo mundo aprende cedo. O que quase ninguém desaprende é aplicá-la duas vezes: quando a pergunta está EMBUTIDA em outra frase, a ordem volta a ser a de uma afirmação. Por isso "Do you know where is the station?" soa errado a um nativo, e a versão correta parece estranha ao ouvido brasileiro justamente por não inverter. Repare também nas perguntas curtas de confirmação, que o português resolve com um "né?" invariável: inglês constrói cada uma a partir do verbo da frase e troca o sinal, afirmativa pedindo negativa e vice-versa. Errar o sinal transforma confirmação em desconfiança.
Traduzir frase inteira ensina o que traduzir palavra não ensina: a ordem, o tempo verbal e a preposição só aparecem quando a frase existe. Cada uma destas aceita 10.8 formas diferentes em média — porque quase nunca há uma resposta única, e reconhecer as variantes é metade do trabalho de entender quem fala.
