Question

Find the appropriate reported speech for the following : The stranger said to me, " What is your name?” The stranger asked me

• A. What my name is
• B. What is my name
• C. What my name was
• D. What was your name

Answer 1

Answer:

C. What my name was

• Question form changes to statement form: In indirect speech, a WH-question follows normal statement word order: subject + verb.

• Pronoun change: “Your” changes to “my” because the stranger was asking about the speaker’s name.

• Tense change: “Is” changes to “was” because the reporting verb “said” is in the past tense.

• No question mark: The reported question becomes part of a statement, so it ends with a full stop.
