1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: Meera asked Mukesh who he was waiting for.

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

    Present Continuous Tense > Past Continuous Tense.
