She said to me, “How much does this book cost?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She asked me that how much that book costed.

    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.
