Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
"Are you left-handed man?" she asked me.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:
She asked whether I was a left-handed man.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
- She asked that did I was a left- handed man. The word "that" is unnecessary in indirect speech. Additionally, the verb "was" should be in the past tense, "was".
- She asked about my writing. The sentence does not convey the fact that the question was specifically about whether I was left-handed.
- She asks if I was a left- handed man. The reporting verb "asks" is in the present tense, but the reported clause is in the past tense.
