He asked his friends,"Are you going to play today?"(Change into indirect speech)

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\pink{Answer}$

He asked his friends if they are going to play that day.

$\underline\mathfrak\pink{Additional \: Information}$

In form of Direct Speech:

• The actual words of the speaker are put within inverted commas (" ")

• A comma(,)is used before these words,seperating them from the first part of the sentence.

• The qouted words begin with a Capital letter.

In form of Indirect Speech:

• Here,the qouted words are not in inverted commas,but are introduced by conjunction 'that'.

• There is no comma after Reporting Verb 'said.'

• The tense of the Reporting Verb is never changed.

Rules to Change Direct Speech into Indirect Speech in forms of Interrogative Sentence.

• Rule1:

Whether or if is added,if the Reported Speech admits 'yes' or 'no.'

• Rule2:

But whether or if is not used if the Reported Speech is introduced by an interrogative pronoun or adjective or an adverb then when,why,which, where are added.

• Rule3:

Then the question form is changed into one of a statement. The conjunction 'that' is never used in such cases.
