English Narration Narration Change Assertive and Interrogative sentence Question #7359 (CAT-I)

Choose the correct indirect speech for: He said to me, "Are you feeling well?"

A He asked me if I was feeling well.

B He told me that I was feeling well.

C He inquired me that if I am feeling well.

D He said to me whether I felt well.

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option A

• The reporting verb 'said to' changes to 'asked' or 'enquired' for interrogative sentences. • Since it's a 'Yes/No' question (no Wh-word), 'if' or 'whether' is used as a connector. • The interrogative sentence transforms into an assertive sentence in indirect speech, meaning the subject comes before the verb (I was feeling). • The tense changes from Present Continuous ('are feeling') to Past Continuous ('was feeling') because the reporting verb is in the past tense.
