She said to me," What time is your flight tomorrow?"
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The most appropriate option to express the given sentence in reported speech is:
She asked me what time my flight was the following day.
The other options are incorrect:
- She asked me what time is my flight the next day. - This is incorrect because the verb "is" in the reported speech is in the present tense, but the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense.
- She asked me that what time was my flight tomorrow. - This is incorrect because the word order in the reported speech is incorrect. The correct word order would be "what time my flight was tomorrow".
- She asked me what time my flight will be the next day. - This is incorrect because the verb "will be" in the reported speech is in the future tense, but the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense.
