What she was doing here OR What was she doing here

Question

which one is correct?

"I don't know what she was doing here"

Or

"i don't know what was she doing here"

I would appreciate any help.

Wasn't there a recent thread somewhat related to this? Lemme look . . . http://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/36623/do-you-know-wheres-linda-vs-do-you-know-where-linda-is/36640#36640 That might have enough info for you, perhaps. :) — F.E., Oct 24 '14 at 21:59

"I don't know what she was doing here" is correct. We do not invert subject and verb in indirect questions.
