The doctor said to me, “Are you feeling better now?” Change into Indirect Speech

2 Answers

  1. Indirect Speech: The doctor asked me if I was feeling better 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.

    Note: While answering to “yes or no questions”, we use if or whether.
