Change narration: He said to me, “Why are you late?”

by

(A) He asked me why I was late. 
(B) He told me why I was late.
(C) He asked me why I were late.
(D) None of these

🧠 Explanation:

  • The sentence is an example of an interrogative sentence in direct speech.
  • When changing to indirect speech, we use "asked" for questions and change the pronoun and tense appropriately.
  • “Why are you late?” changes to “why I was late” in indirect form.
  • “Said to” becomes “asked” in reported questions.

Correct Answer: (A) He asked me why I was late.
