I said to the porter, “When does the next train come in?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: I asked the porter when the next train would come in.

    Explanation: When the reporting verb is in the past (said) and the simple present tense is used as a future form, it becomes would + verb, not simple past tense.

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