Question

I asked my younger brother, "Are you going alone, so late in the evening?" (change the question from direct to indirect speech)

Answer 1

I asked my younger brother if he was going alone and late that night.

Direct and Indirect Speech

Direct speech:

• In direct speech, we simply repeat what someone said in exactly the same words. Quotation marks are used to enclose the words.
• For example, he said to me, "are you studying for the exam."

Indirect Speech:

• In Indirect speech, we report what someone said by choosing different words. We can change the words to narrate but the context should be the same.
• For example, he asked me if I was studying for exam.
