which of the following is the correct indirect form of the given direct speech: 'Who are you and what do you want"? He said to me.

"Who are you and what do you want?" To convert this into indirect speech:

Rule 1: Change the reporting verb and move it to the beginning of the sentence.

In the original sentence, "said" is the reporting verb. Since the sentence is a question, we change "said" to "asked" and move it to the beginning: "He asked me,"

Rule 2: Change the pronouns to match the new context.

• "You" becomes "I" because we are reporting it from the perspective of the person being spoken to.
• "He" remains the same because it's the person who spoke.
• "Me" remains the same because it's the person who was spoken to.

Rule 3: Change the tense if necessary.

In this case, the tense remains the same because it's a present tense question.

So, following these rules, we get the correct indirect speech: "He asked me who I was and what I wanted."
