She said to her friend, “I haven’t been to Darjeeling, have you?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She told her friend that she hadn’t been to Darjeeling and asked if he/she had been.

    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.
