Answer 2

I said to him," How are you?" - Direct speech

I asked him how he was. - Indirect speech

• In the direct speech, the exact words of the speaker are quoted.
• To convert direct speech to reported speech, we need to follow certain steps. The quotation marks are removed and a suitable conjunction is added as per the requirement.
• Here, the word 'said' is changed to 'asked' because it a question and the question mark is removed when writing in reported speech.
• Also, the given simple present tense is changed to simple past tense.
