Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
Joey said to the girl, “How are you doing?”
Option 1: Joey asked the girl if she was doing fine.
Option 2: Joey asked the girl how was she doing.
Option 3: Joey asked the girl that how was she doing.
Option 4: Joey asked the girl how she was doing.
Correct Answer: Joey asked the girl how she was doing.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
Narration conversion:
- Said changes to asked.
- The direct question ( How are you doing? ) changed to an indirect question ( How she was doing ).
- The question mark becomes a period.
Person's Rule:
- The first person is changed according to the subject of the reporting verb.
- The second person is changed according to the object of the reporting verb.
- Third person, no change.
So, the indirect statement would be: "Joey asked the girl how she was doing."
