Question

He asked me," where from is passport prepared?" (Change narration.)

Answer 1

Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.

Example: Adonis said,"I have a new pencil." (Direct)

               Adonis said that she had a new pencil. (Indirect)

In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words have to be made. Also, if the sentence is contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.

He asked me,"From where is the passport prepared?" (Direct)
