Direct and Indirect Speech

• In the given direct speech, the subordinate speech is in the interrogative form. The question word 'how' is placed instead of the comma in the indirect speech.

• 'Said to' is changed to 'asked' since it is a question.

• In indirect speech, an interrogative sentence changes into an assertive sentence. Thus, the verb is placed after the noun 'I' in the indirect speech.
