Question

Answer 1

Given sentence: Suresh said to me, "Have you done your work?"

Indirect speech: Suresh asked me if I had done my work.

• In indirect speech, we report the incident done in our words.
• Firstly, remove the inverted commas (i.e. quotation marks).
• Since, here Suresh is asking a question, the reporting verb 'said' is changed to 'asked' in indirect speech.
• It is a yes or no question, so the conjunction 'if' is inserted.
• And the tense is changed to one step back.
