Question

change the sentence into indirect speech (what do you mean?)

Answer 1

Hope u like my process.
======================
=> All the direct and indirect changes are made in past tense that it is actually in..

=> All the speech are in the same tone but the interrogation is no longer an interrogation in conversion to indirect.

=>if there are Wh words for questions, then if /whether is not used.
__________________________
Direct => He said, "what do you mean?"

Indirect=> He asked what he meant.
____________________________

Here the present infinite changed in past infinite.

✍✍HERE IS YOUR ANSWER..⬇⬇
====================================

$<b><i>There are two clauses in Direct Speech. One is reported clause and other is reporting clause.$

$<b><i>In this question..Only reporting clause is mentioned.$

$<b><i>If the reported clause is : "The man said to me "$

$<b><i>Then the sentence in Direct speech will be -$

$\underline{DIRECT \: \: SPEECH}$ ➡

$The \: \: man \: \: said \: \: to \: \: me,'' what \: \: do \: \: you \: \: mean \:? ''$

$\underline{INDIRECT \: \: SPEECH}$ ➡

$The \: \: man \: \: asked \: \: me \: \: what \: \: i \: \: was \: \: meant \:.$
