The teacher asked the boy why was he late.

In the given sentence: The teacher said to the boy, "Why are you late?"

• When we use the exact words of the speaker to report what he or she has said, we use direct speech.
• In a direct speech, the words used by the speaker are enclosed within quotation marks ("...")
• The verb preceding the quoted words is called reporting verb.
