"frightening" is the only word that comes to my head. Can you please rephrase your question? - 003492fc, Aug 30, 2013

According to Ask How.com, the definition of an indirect question is: A sentence that reports a question and ends with a period rather than a question mark. Consequently, to convert your question "Why do the French eat frogs?" to an indirect question, construct it as a sentence reporting the question, e.j. "She asked me why the French eat frogs."

Here's my attempt in español. (directo) ¿Por qué se comen ranas las francés? (indirecto) "Ella me preguntó por qué se comen ranas las
francés."
