Tenses and style for storytelling in spoken languages,
Are British/US English speakers often use past continuous tense for background information and the past simple for main events. I heard several British people told their story in that style. I am not sure is it popular fashion for native English speakers.
If that style is popular, is it applied to written language?

Which is correct: 'I want to know what he is doing.' or 'I want to know what is he doing.'
I think the former is correct; however, I am not sure because I learned writing for ages.
If both are correct, please explain what is different in their semantic.
