Change the following into indirect speech:
He said to me, "Where are you going?"
Choose the correct sentence from the following:

The correct answer is Option C (He asked me where I was going.).

Key Points:
• This is a direct-to-indirect speech conversion problem for a Wh-question.
• Rules for Wh-questions in Indirect Speech:
• 1. Reporting verb 'said to' changes to asked.
• 2. The question word (Where) acts as the connecting link; no 'that' or 'if' is added.
• 3. The sentence structure changes from interrogative to assertive (Subject + Verb instead of Verb + Subject).
• 4. Present continuous tense ("are you going") changes to Past continuous tense ("I was going").
• Evaluating options:
• Option 1: Incorrect word order (was I).
• Option 2: 'that' is incorrectly used with a Wh-question, and wrong word order.
• Option 3: He asked me where I was going. (Correct reporting verb, correct conjunction, correct affirmative word order, correct tense change).
• Option 4: 'asked to' is grammatically incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: For Wh-questions in indirect speech, use 'asked', retain the wh-word as a connector, change tense, and use subject-verb word order.
