Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.
He said to me, “Do you own this beautiful car?”

Correct option is D

The correct indirect speech is (d).
✒️ Explanation:
· This is a yes/no question in direct speech, so we use “if” or “whether” in the reported speech.
· “Do you own” changes to “I owned” in reported speech (Simple Present → Simple Past).
· “This” becomes “that” in reported speech.
✅ Correct sentence:
He asked me if I owned that beautiful car.
�� Rules used:
· Said to becomes asked in questions.
· Change in pronouns and tense occurs based on the reporting verb (said).
· Interrogative form converts to assertive structure (no question mark).
