Question

“How old is your mother?” he asked. change into indirect speech​

Answer 1

Answer:

He asked him/ her how old his/her mother was.

Answer 2

Answer:

'He asked how old her mother was'.

Explanation:

The given sentence in direct speech is “How old is your mother?” he asked. Direct speech refers to the exact words spoken by a person, so it is enclosed in double-quotes.

Indirect speech is the speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual words.
The pronoun 'your' would be changed to her. 'He asked' would come at the beginning of the sentence. The sentence is interrogative, so the auxiliary verb 'was' should come after the noun 'mother'. The given sentence when changed into the indirect speech becomes 'He asked how old her mother was'.
