  • Balu to Akshara, “where are you going ?”
  • Balu asked Akshara where she was going.
• ഇവിടെ വന്ന പ്രധാന മാറ്റം - where + are + you എന്നത് റിപ്പോർട്ട് ചെയ്തപ്പോൾ    where + she + was എന്നായിരിക്കുന്നു. ('You' becomes he/she/I/they/we according to the question, here Akshara is a girl so, pronoun 'she' will be used). Auxiliary Verb ൻ്റെയും Subject ൻ്റെയും സ്ഥാനം മാറിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
