English Grammar - Narration (Direct and Indirect Speech)
Options:
- She asked where I lived.
- She asked where do I live.
- She asked where I live.
- She asked where did I live.
Right Answer: She asked where I lived.
An interrogative sentence beginning with a question word retains the question word in indirect speech. However, the sentence changes to statement order, and the present tense "live" changes to the past tense "lived." Therefore, the correct form is "She asked where I lived." The other options either keep the interrogative word order or fail to change the tense appropriately.
