Given sentence :

  • She asked me 'What time are we going to leave tomorrow?

Answer :

  • She asked me that at what time were we going to leave the next day.

Some rules of conversion of statements :

  • The reporting verb "said" is changed into "told" .

  • The inverted commas are removed and "that" is placed instead.

  • If the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the tense of the verb in the reported speech is not changed.

  • If the reported speech expresses some "universal truth" or "habitual action", the tense of the verb is not changed
