• There are direct and indirect speech forms.
• Direct speech is a straight forward sentence, it conveys exactly what is told or done. The direct message is highlighted within the inverted commas.
• Eg: Adam said, "he likes the park".
• Indirect speech is a sentence where the direct sentence gets reported.  This is in the form of informing the direct speech to a different person.
• Eg: Adam said that he liked the park.
• Here as there is a question being asked, that is converted into indirect speech.
• The given sentence is in present perfect tense so the indirect speech should be in past perfect tense.
