THE ABOVE SENTENCE IS IN DIRECT SPEECH.

TO CONVERT IT INTO INDIRECT SPEECH WE NEED TO CHECK THE AUXILIARY VERB.

ALSO, AS IT IS AN INTERROGATIVE SENTENCE WE MUST WRITE ASKED INSTEAD OF SAID OR TOLD.

Answer 2

Indirect/Reported Speech refers to a dialogue being told to a third person/reporting what happened to a third person.

Example: He said, "How was your vacation?" (Direct)

                He asked how my vacation was. (Indirect)

In the above example, when writing in indirect/reported form, the sentence changes according to its tense. Also, modifications regarding certain words like 'this' changes to 'that', 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day', 'will' changes to 'would', 'can' changes to 'could' and many other words have to be made. Also, if the sentence contains an interrogation, then 'said' changes to 'asked'. Punctuation marks other than a full stop (.) cannot be used in indirect/reported speech.

The teacher said to the boy, "Have you done your homework?" (Direct)

The teacher asked the boy if he had done his homework. (Indirect)
