Formulating Questions in Reported Speech

When transforming questions into reported speech, it's essential to adjust the word order from that of a direct question to a statement. For instance, the direct question 'What's the time?' becomes 'Finn asked what the time was' in reported speech. This pattern involves using a reporting verb at the beginning, followed by the question word and the restructured statement. Moreover, pronunciation aspects, such as contracted forms like 'who'd' for 'who had,' are emphasized, indicating that even verbal nuances can change when reporting another person's inquiries.
