I would like to explain to a non-native girlfriend that it's correct to say "Where am I?" on its own as a question, but if you want to say "Can you guess where I am?" or "Do you know where I am?" or "I don't know where I am" then the word order is flipped around.
Although I am native I don't have any idea why this grammar is what it is, so I'd really appreciate any help explaining it.
