My father said to me, “How have you fared in the examination?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: My father asked me how I had fared in the examination.

    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.
