Question

She said to me ,"who are you?

Answer 1

Answer:

INDIRECT SPEECH....

.

Answer 2

The indirect narration of the sentence given above will be:She asked me who I was.

• The application here to be used is of conversion from direct speech to indirect speech.
• In this sentence asked will be used here because it is mentioned that she was saying this sentence to a first person so "I" will also be used here.
• When sentences like an interrogative sentence or an imperative sentence are given in the apostrophe then "said" is not used instead words like "asked", "requested" and "exclaimed" are used.
• So the words "asked me" are appropriate here.
• As the sentence in the apostrophe is an interrogative sentence, on changing the narration, it will changed into an assertive sentence.
• As it is in simple present tense, when its narration will be changed, it will convert into simple past tense, thus "was" will be used here.
• When the narration of a sentence is changed, the tense changes as per the following conversions:
• Simple present to simple past.
• Present continuous to past continuous.
• Present perfect to past perfect.
