Question

what is the indirect speech of "my lord, is any of your silver missing? " the sergeant said to the bishop.

Answer 1

Answer:

The sergeant asked the Bishop if any of his silver was missing.

Explanation:

Indirect speech is a way of relaying information without directly quoting the speaker. Usually it is done as a reported speech.

Therefore, the direct speech "my lord, is any of your silver missing? " the sergeant said to the Bishop becomes "The sergeant asked the Bishop if any of his silver was missing."
