He said, “Who took my English book?” Change into Indirect Speech

2 Answers

  1. Indirect Speech: He asked that who had taken his English book.

    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 (took) > Past Perfect Tense (had taken)

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