Correct Answer: The tutor asked his pupil, “Where did you learn your English from? “


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • There will be no change in the reporting verb in the case of the interrogative sentence.
  • "Where" will be used as a conjunction because the question word itself becomes the conjunction in the case of the interrogative sentence.
  • The past perfect tense "had learnt" is changed to the simple past tense "did you learn".
  • The third-person pronoun "he" is changed to the second-person pronoun "you".
  • The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.

Therefore, the answer will be: The tutor asked his pupil, “Where did you learn your English from? “
