Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Direct Speech.
He asked me if I had ever been to the Louvre.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The original sentence 'He asked me if I had ever been to the Louvre' is in Indirect Speech. To convert it to Direct Speech, we need to find the original question that was asked.
The reporting verb 'asked' indicates a question. In direct speech, we can use 'said to me' followed by a question mark.
The conjunction 'if' is used in reported speech for yes/no questions.
The past perfect tense 'had ever been' in reported speech typically converts back to the present perfect tense 'have you ever been' in direct speech.
The pronoun 'I' changes back to 'you' to address the listener directly.
Option ‘D’ follows all these changes.
