Question

He asked me “do you understand the rules of the game”
Into indirect speech

Answer 1

By changing the narration of the sentence we will get ''He asked me that did I understand the rules of the game''.

What is the direct and indirect form of the verb?

When something is repeated exactly as it was the first time, usually between two inverted commas, it is referred to as direct speaking. Indirect communication describes or summarises what was stated rather than directly sharing someone's views or words.

What does the reporting verb convey exactly?

• We frequently use the verbs say, tell, or ask when we tell someone what another person said. They're referred to as reporting verbs.

• The direct object is the thing on which the subject acts, so "cereal" is the direct object in that final word; it's what Jake ate. A sentence element that isn't required is called an indirect object.
