why and how in the middle of the sentence

Question

what if i want to say, "i dont understand why you did it" will it stil be por que even though it is inthe middle. also with the word "how..i dont know how you did it..pls translate..tnx

Answer 1

You can use either "porque" or "por que.

When you talk about the reason someone did something, you can refer to it as "el porque" - the reason.

I dont understand why you did it no entiendo porque lo hiciste

But you can also say....

I dont understand why you did it no entiendo por qué lo hiciste

how = como

I dont know how you did it. No sé como lo hiciste

Answer 2

No entiendo por qué lo hiciste. No entiendo comó lo hiciste. Both por qué and comó are used in the middle of a sentence... they still need the accent mark!
