Question :

Grandpa said,"what is the time by your watch? "

Change into Reported speech

Answer :

Grandpa asked what the time was by my watch.

The rules to change a direct speech into an indirect speech are as follows :

  • The comma and the double quotations are to be omitted.
  • The tense of the sentence inside the quotation does not change if the reported verb is in present tense.
  • The tense of the sentence inside the quotation changes accordingly if the reported verb is in past tense.
  • Here , the reported verb is in simple past tense, therefore the tense of the sentence inside quotation changes from simple present tense to simple past tense.
  • 'Is' becomes 'was' .
  • 'Your' becomes 'my'.
  • 'Said' becomes 'asked' since it is an interrogative sentence.
