Question

Change the direct speech into indirect speech - Rita said to me ,"Did you complete your work ?​

Answer 1

Question :-

Change the Narration :- Rita said to me, "Did you complete your work?"​

Answer :-

Rita asked me if I had completed my work.

Things to remember while changing to Indirect Speech :-

• The tenses may not change if the statement is still relevant or is a universal truth.  Eg. “I know her address,” said Gopal.  (Gopal said that he knows / knew her address. )

• The tenses do not change when the reporting verb is in the Present Tense.  Eg. He says that he is unwell.  ; He says that he has passed the text.

• The pronouns change in relation to the hearer and reporter.  Eg. He said to me, ‘I don’t believe you.’  (He told me that he didn’t believe me. )

• Pronouns of First Person (I, we) change according to the speaker.

• Pronouns of Second Person (you, your) change according to the person being  spoken to  Eg. He said to me, “You have done a good job.”  (He told me that I had done a good job. )

• ∙ Pronouns of Third Person (he, she, it) remain unchanged
