Answers
Answer:
Rani asked me,where was i going
Answer:
Rani asked me where I was going.
Explanation:
Simply eliminate the quotation, and transform the sentence in such a way that as if you were reporting it without the use of direct quotation. It comes naturally when you're a fluent speaker.
It would simply seem as if you were giving a "You Side" of the story; constructing the quotation into your own sentence.
Moreover, it would usually simply be eliminating the:
(X) said to, (Y)
(Z) said,
(A) + "(quoted predicate)"
And Turning it into:
(Z) + (predicate) Ex. [ Maya told me to shut the hell up ] instead of [Maya said to me, "Shut the hell up."]
A common change in tense would be that "are" becomes "was." Meaning, when converting direct speech towards indirect speech, usually, you'd transform present tenses into past ones.
