Explanation:

Answer 2

$\huge{ \underline{ \overline {\mid{ \mathfrak{ \pink{ \: \: ANSWER \: \: } \mid}}}}}$

" Can I see the mangoes " , he asked.

This sentence is in Direct speech.

Here,

He asked is the Reporting clause and

Can I see the mangoes is the Reported clause.

So, this sentence in Indirect speech will be :-

He asked whether he could see the mangoes.

……………………………………………………………………………

$\star \: \: \underline{\underline{\mathsf{\purple{\: RELATED \: \: INFORMATION \:}}}}$

In the Direct Speech of the given sentence,

The Reported Clause is a Interrogative Sentence and the Reporting Clause is in Past Tense.

So, in the Indirect Speech ,

The Reported Clause will be joined with the Reporting Clause by using the conjunction Whether or If .

As the Reported Clause in the Direct Speech is in Past Tense , in Indirect Speech we have to change the form of Tense.

As per the rule of Speech / Narration,

If the Reported Clause is in Interrogative Sentence in Direct Speech, then in Indirect Speech the Question Mark (?) is replaced by Full Stop (.) .
