Correct Answer: "Did you see the match?" the teacher said to me.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "asked" is changed to "said" in the direct speech because the given sentence is an interrogative sentence.
  • The first-person pronoun "I" is changed to the second-person pronoun "you".
  • The past perfect tense "had" is changed to the simple past tense "did".
  • The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.

Therefore, the sentence in the direct form is: "Did you see the match?" the teacher said to me.
