There are several types of sentences:
- Simple or Declarative Sentence.
- Command or Imperative Sentence.
- Question or Interrogative Sentence.
- Exclamatory Sentence.
For example, you first sentence is actually a question, so you need to put the verb DO in the beginning:
Why DO we use .... ?
On the other hand, "I want to know WHERE my son IS" is a declarative sentence, not a question, so it would be wrong to say "I want to know WHERE IS my son". You can put "IS" up front if you rewrite it as a direct speech question, for example - He said "Where IS my son?".
