Question

he asked the child sweetly,"what are you making ?" (change it in indirect form)

Answer 1

There are some major rules to change the speeches from direct to indirect. We need to consider the tense, pronoun, words that describe time, place, distance, types of sentences, etc. let’s have a glance at the following rules:

In an indirect speech the pronoun changes according to the speaker whether s/he is referring himself/herself or a third person.

In a statement speech, we will use ‘that’ before the reported statement and the reported verb will be ‘told’ (followed by an object) or ‘said’ (will not be followed by an object)

Usually, the present changes to past tense while we change direct speech to indirect.  
It means Simple present tense change into simple past tense.


In indirect speech questions starting with who, whom, when, how, where and what the wh-word would be the subject or the object of the reported clause.
