Question

Ruchira said to me. "Did you write the letter?" (change the mode of narration)

Answer 1

Ruchira asked me if I had written the letter.  

Changes made:

1. Quotation marks- When changing from direct to indirect or reported speech, the quotation marks need to be removed.  
2. Said- The word ‘said’ needs to be replaced by another word. Possible words can be ‘told’ or ‘asked’. Here, the original speech is a question and has a question mark at the end. Questions are asked, not told. So, the word ’said’ needs to be replaced with ‘asked’.  
3. Tenses- Since the speech is being reported, it has already happened. Therefore, the tense needs to be changed to the past tense. So, ‘write the letter’ becomes ‘had written the letter’.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The narration change of the given direct speech is 'Ruchira asked me if I had written the letter'.

• 'Did you write the letter?' is an Interrogative Sentence and also it is an example of simple past tense, so we have to change it into past perfect tenses and it is : 'I had written the letter'. Here 'I' is mentioning 'me'.

• When we turn an Interrogative Sentence into an Indirect Speech, 'asked' is used instead of 'said to' and 'if' is used as a linker, both are mentioned above.
