The boy said to his mother, “Are you going to temple now?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The boy asked his mother if she was going to temple then.

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

    Present Continuous Tense > Past Continuous Tense.

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