QUESTIONS IN THE REPORTED SPEECH

Here you have some questions in direct speech and the same questions in the reported speech. Remember that normally you need to write: 

Pronoun asked me + question word + pronoun + verb in reported speech 

When are you coming to my party? ------------He asked me when I was going to his party

Why do you dance on the table? --------------- She asked me why I danced on the table 

Try to practise at home. You can print it or you can ask someone to ask you the sentences.
