“Why do you think it may be dangerous?” I asked her. Change into indirect speech

1 Answer

  1. Indirect Speech:asked her why she thought it might be dangerous.

    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 the modals like can changes to could, may changes to might, will/shall change to would, have to changes to had to etc.
