Answer:

"So you would not use "why you are late " as a single sentence right?" - That's right. Although there are two cases when you might here this outside of a full sentence:

1) As an answer two a question. E.g. A: Why are you late? B: Sorry, I didn't catch that. What are you asking about? A: Why you are late. -"Why you are late" isn't a full sentence here. It's short for "I am asking about why you are late".

2) As the title of something like an article or a poster. For example, an online article might be called "Why you are always late". You'd expect the article to be an explanation of why you're always late. In both of these cases (as well as any other time when it's at the end of a sentence), "why you are late" acts like a single noun, and you could replace it with a noun if you wanted e.g. you could say "dogs" as the answer to the question I mentioned before, have it at the title of an article, or say "I am asking about dogs".
