My friend said to me, “Where were you yesterday?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: My friend asked me where I had been the previous day.

    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.
