Answer 2

Answer:

The man said to the boy, "What's your name ?"

• The given direct speech is said to turn into indirect speech, so it is : The man asked the boy what was his name.

Explanation :

• The reported speech is an Interrogative Sentence because it has a question mark and it is : (?) and it is written in simple present tense.

• And reporting verb is written in simple past tense, 'said' confirms it.

• So, according to the English Grammar , if reporting verb is written in simple past tense and reporting verb is written in simple present tense then reporting verb will remain same and reported speech will turn into simple past tense : what was his name.

• For Interrogative Sentence asked is used instead of 'said to' and Wh words remain unchangeable.
