Question 87

Pick out the correct sentence in indirect speech of the following sentence:
He said to me, “What are you doing?ˮ

Solution

Since the sentence inside the quotes is an interrogative one, the subject will be followed by 'asked' in the indirect speech. Further, since the person the question is posed at is the author himself, the subject in the first clause will be 'me'. Finally, 'What are you doing?" will be transformed to "What I was doing", with the present simple tense being changed to the past simple. The resolved sentence in the indirect speech will be: "He asked me what I was doing." Option C is the correct answer.
