English Narration Narration Change Assertive and Interrogative sentence Question #7341 (CAT-I)

Change the narration: My father said to me, "Have you finished your lunch?"

A My father asked me if I had finished my lunch.

B My father asked me if I have finished my lunch.

C My father told me that I had finished my lunch.

D My father asked me if had I finished my lunch.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• The reporting verb 'said to' changes to 'asked' for interrogative sentences. • Since it's a Yes/No question (no wh-word), 'if' or 'whether' is used as the conjunction. • The tense 'Have you finished' (Present Perfect) changes to 'I had finished' (Past Perfect) in indirect speech. • The sentence structure becomes assertive, so 'I' comes before 'had finished'.
