Where are you from direct to indirect speech?

The question "Where are you from?" is already in direct speech. To change it to indirect speech, we need to know who asked the question and to whom. Here's how you can do it:

Example:

* Direct Speech: "Where are you from?" asked the teacher.

* Indirect Speech: The teacher asked [person's name] where he/she was from.

Here's how to adjust the indirect speech:

1. Identify the speaker and listener: Who asked the question, and who was it directed to?

2. Use a reporting verb: Choose a verb like "asked," "inquired," or "wanted to know" to report the question.

3. Change the tense of the verb: The verb in the question changes to the past tense (e.g., "are" becomes "was").

4. Change pronouns if necessary: Adjust pronouns to reflect the new speaker and listener.

5. Use a conjunction like "if" or "whether" for yes/no questions.

More Examples:

* Direct Speech: "Where are you from?" she asked me.

* Indirect Speech: She asked me where I was from.

* Direct Speech: "Where are you from?" John asked his friend.

* Indirect Speech: John asked his friend where he was from.
