He said to me, “What have you got in your bag?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: He asked me what I had got in my bag.

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

    Present Perfect Tense > Past Perfect Tense.

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