Question

Yukti and Sanjay had a conversation about going to a restaurant. Report Yukti’s question.
“Does this restaurant serve good South Indian food?”

Hint:

For reporting questions, remove the question format, shift the tense, and introduce the reported clause with “if” or “whether.”

Answer 1

Indirect yes/no questions use “if” or “whether,” shifting the tense to past. For example, “does serve” becomes “served” and “this” becomes “that.”

Reported Speech: Yukti asked if that restaurant served good South Indian food.

This maintains the meaning in a statement. Pronouns and time expressions may also need adjustment. Using “if” or “whether” is crucial. In reported speech, question marks are removed, and the sentence structure becomes declarative.
