Discussion
Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
Shivam said to her, "Are you coming to the prom tonight?"
Answer: B
The reported form is 'Shivam asked whether she was coming to the prom that night'. A direct yes/no question becomes an indirect question introduced by 'if' or 'whether'. With a reporting verb in the past, the present continuous 'are you coming' moves back to 'was coming', and 'tonight' becomes 'that night'. Option A changes to 'would come', option D keeps 'is coming' without a tense shift, and option C changes the reporting verb to 'was sceptical', which changes the meaning.
