1. Embedded question: when a question clause (one introduced
by a question word) is within a longer clause, then use sentence word order
unless you change to direct speech and use quotation marks. If the latter, then
you also need to change “she is” to “you are”.
2. Word usage: “over” in this usage is slang; it’s better to
use “for”.
3. Word form: “weekend” is one word—no hyphen.
4. Capitalization: Victoria Day is a proper noun; it needs
capital letters.
5. Wrong word: Unless you are using direct speech, then
change “is” to “if”.
6. Word confusion: “too” meaning “also” or “as well”, not
“to” the preposition.
7. Verb tense: “I ask” is not appropriate: change it to the
simple past (I asked), the present progressive (I am asking), or the present
perfect (I have asked).
8. Word form: information is a non-count noun; there is no
plural form.
9. Internal punctuation: There are several ways of doing
this. The simplest is to use a comma after “too” to separate the two
independent clauses.
Possible Answer: Please ask her where she is going for the
Victoria Day weekend and if her
boyfriend is going too, but don’t tell her that I asked for the information.
