She said to me, “Why did you leave the job?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: She asked me why I had left the job.

    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.
