The girl said, “Where did you keep the pen?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The girl asked where I had kept the pen.

    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.
