HFIE
iii. The teacher said, "Students, have you submitted your assignments?"
(Rewrite in Indirect speech).
B2. Spot the error:​

Answer 1

The teacher asked the students whether/if they had submitted their assignments.

Answer 2

The answer is as follows:

The teacher asked the students whether they had submitted their assignments.

• Since the speech is addressed to the students, 'students' become a part of the reporting clause in the indirect speech.

• Since the reporting verb is in the simple past tense, 'have' changed to 'had' in the indirect speech.

• The question mark is removed in the indirect speech.

• 'Their' replaces 'your' in the indirect speech.
