The father said to his son, “Where have you kept my spectacles?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The father asked his son where he had kept his spectacles.

    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.
