Question

where do you live ?asked the stranger Direct into Reported speech
​

Answer 1

"The stranger asked where I lived"- Indirect speech

Here " Where do you live? asked the stranger"

• The reporting verb( asked the stranger) is in past indefinite tense.
• The reported Speech( Where do you live) is in present indefinite tense.

When we convert Direct speech to indirect the rules for the following are:

{present indefinite tense - past indefinite tense}

• 2nd person in the question that is "you" will be changed into "I"
