Direct and Indirect:

• When a question indirect speech is changed into reported speech, the verb becomes a past tense interrogative word.

• The statement in reported speech will also contain the original question word. (where, what, how, when, why)

• Eg: He said, " How long will you take, Sharanya?"

• → He asked for long Sharanya would take.
