Answer 2

"He asked me if I could do that work"- will be the indirect speech of the given sentence.

Indirect speech-

• An indirect speech is the reported part of what someone said in their own words. Hence, it is also called the reported speech.
• The given example is of a direct speech narration, containing the exact same dialogues and hence in inverted commas.
• To change that, we should take out the inverted commas first, and narrate the whole dialogue in the third person format.
• Next, the narration will start with 'asked' as there is a question asked in the form of dialogue.
• The tense of the speech will change its tense to the future tense as it is in the present tense form.
• The subject is changed to third person 'I' in indirect speech format
• Lastly, the pronoun 'this' will convert and change to 'that' in the indirect speech narration.
