Correct answer is ❓

“She asked where I was going.”

This sentence is an example of reported speech, also called indirect speech. In reported speech, the tense often changes when the reporting verb is in the past tense.

Direct speech:
• She asked, “Where are you going?”

Reported speech:
• She asked where I was going.

The present continuous tense “are going” changes to the past continuous tense “was going.”

✔ Structure:
Past reporting verb + past continuous tense

✔ Examples:
• He asked what I was doing.
• They wanted to know where she was staying.
• She asked why he was crying.
• I asked if they were coming to the party.

In this sentence:
The subject is “I,” so the correct helping verb is “was.”

❌ Incorrect options:
A) am → present tense, not correct in reported speech here
C) were → used with plural subjects or “you/we/they”
D) be → base form, grammatically incorrect

Important grammar point:

In reported speech, present continuous tense changes like this:

✔ am/is/are + verb-ing
➡ was/were + verb-ing

Examples:
• “I am studying.”
→ He said he was studying.

• “They are playing.”
→ She said they were playing.

Reported speech is very important in English speaking, storytelling, conversations, interviews, and writing. Understanding tense changes helps learners communicate clearly and correctly.

Practice more:
• He asked where I was living.
• She asked what they were doing.
• They asked why we were laughing.
