I said to him,"why did you not tell me the truth earlier?"
Answers
Answer:
I asked him why he had not told me the truth earlier.
Explanation:
It was an interrogative case. The reporting verb 'said to' is changed into 'asked', enquired' or 'wanted to know'. When we convert an interrogative sentence starting with wh- word, we don’t add any conjunction such as ‘that’, ‘if’ etc. We just use the wh-word and turn the question into statement. The other tense and pronoun changes are applied as per the reported speech rules.
