Answer 2

Answer:

The indirect speech of the given sentence is :

• He asked me what I was doing.

Explanation :

• The given reported speech ( what are you doing? ) is an example of Interrogative Sentence, that's why instead of 'said to' 'asked' has been used.

• 'Said to' is indicating simple past tense ; present continuous tense ( are, doing ) always turns into past continuous tense ( was, doing ), 'are' has been turned into 'was' because here 'me' is indicating 'I'. Wh word never changes, here it is 'what'.
