Question

Select the correct indirect form of the given sentences. John said to Teena, " Where were you going?"

• A. John asked Teena where she was going.
• B. John asked Teena where she had been going.
• C. John asked Teena where were she going.
• D. John asked Teena where was she going.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. John asked Teena where she had been going.

1. Reporting verb: "said to" changes to "asked" (since it's a question).

2. Tense change:

   • Direct: were going → Indirect: had been going (past continuous → past perfect continuous)

3. Pronoun change:

   • "you" → "she" (referring to Teena)

4. Question format becomes a statement word order (no auxiliary inversion).
