Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
She asked, “Where do you live?”
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. She asked me where I lived.
Conversion to Indirect Speech:
Reporting Verb: “asked” stays the same since it’s already in the past tense.
Question Word: The sentence begins with “Where” so we do not use 'if' or 'whether'. Instead, we retain 'where' in the indirect sentence.
Tense Change: “do you live” is Simple Present which becomes Simple Past i.e. “lived”
Pronoun Change: “you” becomes “I” (referring to the speaker being addressed)
Final Sentence (Indirect Speech): She asked me where I lived.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
