Explanation:

---- > Changing an Interrogative Sentence into the Indirect Speech:

~ Interrogative sentences beginning with an auxiliary verb are changed into the indirect speech by using the connective if or whether. The reporting verb said (or any other word used as the reporting verb) changes to asked.

Note : the auxiliary verbs should, could, would, ought to and might do not change in the indirect speech.

Example:

Direct: I said to him, ‘Who are you?’

Indirect: I asked him who he was.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU!
