The mother said, “Who dare call you a cheater?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The mother asked who dared call me a cheater.

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

    Present Indefinite Tense > Past Indefinite Tense.

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