- We make changes in tenses of reported speech only when the reporting verb is in the past tense.
- When the reported speech is an interrogative sentence we follow these steps-
- Reporting verb 'said' is changed into 'asked/enquired '.
- Change the sentence, given in the reported speech, from interrogative to assertive.
- Tense of reported speech is changed accordingly. ( in above sentence- 'live' changes into 'lived')
- Personal Pronouns of reported speech are changed as per the subject and object of reporting verb.
- Here, the second person- 'You' will change into 'I' as per object.
- By following these steps we get the final sentence:
- The stranger enquired where I lived.

- Moreover, after changing 'said to her' into 'told her';
