Question

In the question below, a sentence has been given in direct/indirect speech. From the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in indirect/direct speech.
He said to her, "Are you coming to the party today?"

• A. He told her if she was coming to the party today.
• B. He asked her if she was coming to the party that day.
• C. He asked her if she will be coming to the party.
• D. He asked her whether she was coming to the party today.

Answer 1

The correct option is B He asked her if she was coming to the party that day.

If reporting verb is in past, then while converting from direct speech to indirect speech, "today" becomes "that day" and "is/am/are" becomes "was/were".
For interrogative sentence, if/whether is used.

Hence, the indirect speech is :
He asked her if she was coming to the party that day.
