Option 4: The tutor asked his pupil, “Where he have learnt his English from?”
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? “
