Transformation of Sentences Test 6

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).

In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.

In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.

Option C is correct as the question and the sentence in the inverted commas is in the simple present tense and present perfect tense respectively and the appropriate introductory verb 'asked' is used with the appropriate preposition 'to'.

Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'is', 'that' and 'is' cannot be used respectively. 

The correct answer is C)Sam asked who was that woman to which I replied that I had no idea who was that woman.

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is A)The computer is being used at the moment.

The option A is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence 
(Somebody) comes in the place of the object(the computer) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present continuous tense, 'being' is added after the helping verb 'is' and before the past participle form of the main verb(use).

Options B,C, and D are wrong as is used, was, and has been can't be used respectively.

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).

In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. Direct speech is found in books, plays, and quotations.

In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words.

 When we turn direct questions into direct speech, the following changes are necessary:

Tenses, pronouns, and possessive adjectives, and adverbs of time and place change as in the statements.

The interrogative form of the verb changes to the affirmative form. The question mark (?) is therefore omitted in indirect questions.

If the introductory verb is say, it must be changed to a verb of inquiry, e. g. ask, inquire, wonder, wan to know etc.

When the direct speech begins with a question word ( when, where, who, why etc) the question word is repeated in the indirect question.

Ask can be followed by the person addressed (indirect object- me) 

Option C is correct as a direct question is given which needs to be transformed into reported speech. Therefore, you is changed to I , present continuous tense to past continuous tense and the question word where is repeated.

The options A, B, and D are wrong as the above-mentioned rules were not followed.
