Question

Change into indirect speech:
(i) He said to the teacher, "Sir, will you not teach me tomorrow?"

Answer 1

Step 1: Alternative construction:
Direct questions using auxiliary verbs (like 'will') are reported using 'if/whether' as the connector.

Step 2: Applying the shift:
'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day' since the reporting is not happening on the same day; 'me' changes to 'him' (third person).

Step 3: Final Answer:
He asked the teacher respectfully whether he would not teach him the following day.
