The mother said to her son, “Did you hear what your father said?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The mother asked her son whether he had heard what his father had said.

    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.

    Did hear – Had heard

    Said – had said
