The teacher said to the student, “Why do you disturb the class?” Change into Indirect Speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech: The teacher asked the student that why he/she disturbed the class.

    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.
