Example:

The following tense changes are authomatic after past tense reporting verbs:
Direct speech/ reported speech
make(s)/ made

has/have made// had made
shall/will make// should/would make
should/ would make// should/would have made
here/there; now/then; yesterday/the day before; this/that; ago/before; next wee/ the following week

Reported Speech
Questions
The word order of a reported question is the same as a simple statement: There is no inversion as in a simple question.
Who, What, How, When, etc. serve as a link between the introducing verb and the reported question
Example:
What's your name? He asked me what my name was.
Where are you going?
How did you do that?
Why are you so sad?
What is the matter?
Which book are you taking?
Who shoed you my work?
How could you be so unkind?
What is the time?
When did he tell you that?How do you know that?
IF the question has no question word, ( but takes yes or no answer, whether or ifis used as a link between the introducing verb and the reported question.
Example:
Have you seen him anywhere?
He asked me if (whether) I had seen him anywhere?
Are you enjoying yourself?
Does she always wear a hat?
Do I look all right?
Is it time to go?
May I use your telephone?
