Answer 1

Info:

• Reported questions are statements that report or describe what someone said, rather than directly quoting their words. They are often used in writing and speaking to describe a conversation that took place between two or more people.

• To transform a direct question into a reported question, you usually need to use a reporting verb, such as "ask," "inquire," or "wonder," followed by the reporting clause, which includes the subject and the reported question.

• For example, consider the direct question: "What's your name?"

To transform this into a reported question, you might say: "He asked me what my name was."
