Question

I asked the guard, " when does the next train come in?" Change the sentence to direct speech

Answer 1

I asked the guard at what time will the next train arrive

Answer 2

When we change into indirect speech sentence will become "I enquired to guard when would the next train arrive". While changing into indirect speech, all the commas and inverted commas should be removed. Next conjunction ‘’that’’ will come before indirect statement. Tense of the sentence will always in past if main verb in reported sentence is in past. Given sentence is in interrogative form so here we can use ‘’enquire’’ instead of ‘’asked’’.
