Learn English – Can “I wonder” be put at the end of a sentence

grammarword-order

Usually sentences with "I wonder" are of the following form:

I wonder why _______.

But what about this?

Why is it that _______ I
wonder.

It seems relatively unnatural. Why is that? Is it grammatically correct?

Best Answer

Yes you can, there's no rule against it. Usually it's preceded by a comma:

Why is it that [...], I wonder.

or like this example taken from here, after direct speech:

‘What should I do now?’ she wondered.
