Correct Answer: The coach asked the student when he would come for practice.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect discourse, is a way of reporting what someone else has said without quoting their exact words.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "asked" because the sentence is an interrogative sentence.
  • The second-person pronoun "you" is changed to the third-person pronoun "she".
  • The modal "will" is changed to its past form, "would".
  • The question word "when" is used to emphasise the interrogative nature of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: The coach asked the student when he would come for practice.
