He said to me, “Did you call me?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: He asked me if had called him.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the direct speech is in the past indefinite tense, then the indirect (reported) speech will change into the past perfect tense.

    Past Indefinite Tense (did call) > Past Perfect Tense (had called).

    And if the sentence is interrogative, we use the reporting verbs like asked, enquired, etc.
