Answer:
I asked her if/whether she was leaving that night.
Explanation:
When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the present continuous tense, then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past continuous tense. Present Continuous Tense > Past Continuous Tense.
- You're leaving tonight, we say, turning the interrogative sentence into an affirmative sentence in order to convert it to indirect speech.
- Here 'said to' changes into 'asked'
- We use 'whether' or 'if' in the place of Introductory Conjunction 'that'.
- Finally, we put a complete stop (.).
- Here 'tonight' changes into 'that night'.
- And 'you' changes into 'she' since the inquiry was thrown to a girl, mentioned as 'her'.
Therefore, the required indirect speech is:
I asked her if/whether she was leaving that night.
