Vivek said to Ajay, "Where do you live?" Vivek asked Ajay__________?​

Answer 1

Indirect speech: Vivek asked Ajay where he lived.

How to change direct into indirect speech?

• To create indirect speech, remove the commas and replace them with 'that.
• However, if there is a question that starts with 'wh-words', we don't add that.
• Change the first person into the third person.
• Also, change the tense structure according to the rules.
• Don't add a question mark as the third person is narrating it as indirect speech.
