My mother said to me, “Who is your best friend?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: My mother asked me who my best friend was.

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

    Present Indefinite Tense > Past Indefinite Tense.

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