As much as I could learn till now, I know that when making a question we put first the auxiliary verb and then the pronoun, like: "Wie spät ist es?"
Can anybody explain me why in the question: "Kõnnen Sie mir bitte sagen wie spät es ist?" the pronoun precedes the verb? Why in this case the question does not follow the rule?
Danke Shõn!
What time is it? - Wie spät ist es?

Or may be I should have better asked why in one case is "Wie spät ist es?" and on the other case is "... wie spät es ist?"
