She asked the boy where he had learnt classical music. -This is the answer.

About indirect/ reported speech:

  • The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
  • When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
  • The given sentence is interrogative. So the question mark must be removed in reported speech we must used 'asked' because it is a question.
  • The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. 'You' becomes 'he'.
  • As we are changing question form to indirect form of speech, the noun will precede the verb.
  • The entire sentence is converted into its past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form. So the simple past tense, 'did you learn'  changes to past perfect 'he had learnt'.
  • Therefore the answer is: She asked the boy where he had learnt classical music.
