Questions are asked, so subject is followed by ask+object+interrogative etc.
so we have seen that interrogative form in the first sentence changes into affirmative one in the second, we also omit the question mark in reporting a question.
If introductory verb is say in Direct speech, we change it into a verb of inquiry i-e ask, inquire, wonder etc.


If there is no interrogative word used in Direct speech, we use If or Whether

He said, "you are his son".Direct speech
He asked if/whether i was his son. Indirect speech

Exercises:
He said, "who has done this damage"?.
I said, "What is the price of that book"?
Ali said, "He is the man we met last week"?
Api said, "Why do you tease me BIlal"?
He asked him who had done that damage.
I asked him What was the price of that book.
Ali inquired weather he was the man they met last week.
Api asked Billal why did he tease her.

Though she came first yet she did not get the seat. (past scenario)
though she came first yet she is waiting for her turn. (present scenario)
am I right? and can we use the structure of no sooner,than in present tenses ? e.g: no sooner does the baby see me than he start crying. I hope you will reply soon.
