Answers
The policeman asked the boy where he lived. The boy replied that he lived a slum area.
Explanation:
First sentence was an interrogative case. When we convert an interrogative sentence starting with wh- word, we don’t add any conjunction such as ‘that’, ‘if’ etc. We just use the wh-word and turn the question into statement. The other tense and pronoun changes are applied as per the reported speech rules.
The second sentence was a statement. When we change the narration of a simple statement, we do the following changes in the given sentence:
1. We connect reporting verb clause with quoted speech (direct speech) using 'that'
2. We change the tense of the quoted speech into the past tense.
3. We change the pronouns according to the subject and object.
Answer:
The policeman enquired the boy where he lived. The boy replied that he lived in slum area.
Explanation:
There are two types of speech ‘direct speech’ and ‘reported speech’. Direct speech is quoted directly as told by the speaker in quotes. Given line in the question is direct speech.
Reported speech means we express what has been said without mentioning them in quotes. We include enquired or asked or investigated in order to define the way the questions had been asked (in the given question, live is the verb).
Here, in the reported speech, the first person ‘you’ is changed to ‘him’ and ‘live' is changed to ‘lived’.
