Indirect Speech: My father asked me whether I had completed my work then.
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 – asked, enquired, etc
Note: While answering to “yes or no questions”, we use if or whether.
