Final answer:

In reported speech, questions are converted into statements without changing the meaning. Tenses, pronouns, and time phrases are adjusted accordingly, and the inquiring structure of direct questions is removed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reported Speech Exercise

To form reported speech in English, you often need to change the tense of the original speech and adjust pronouns and time phrases accordingly. Here are the reported speech forms for your exercise:

  • A) She asked me where he was.
  • B) She asked me what I was doing.
  • C) She asked me why I had gone out the night before.
  • D) She asked me who the beautiful woman was.
  • E) She asked me how my mother was.
  • F) She asked me what I was going to do at the weekend.
  • G) She asked me where I would live after graduation.
  • H) She asked me what I had been doing when she saw me.
  • I) She asked me how the journey was.
  • J) She asked me how often I went to the cinema.
  • K) She asked me if I lived in London.
  • L) She asked me if he had arrived on time.
  • M) She asked me if I had been to Paris.
  • N) She asked me if I could help her.
  • O) She asked me if I was working that night.

Remember when converting questions into reported speech, the question structure is removed, and we report the content with a statement structure, often starting with 'She asked me...'
