Himadri said to Sheshadri, “Who was your teacher last year?” Change into indirect speech.

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: Himadri asked Sheshadri who her teacher had been the previous year.

    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 > Past Perfect Tense.

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