Change the narration: He said to them, "Why were you sitting here?"

Change the narration: He said to them, "Why were you sitting here?"

Explanation

This is a question sentence in indirect narration.

Changes:

  • "said to" → "asked"
  • "were you sitting" → "they had been sitting" (past continuous → past perfect continuous)
  • "here" → "there"

So, the correct narration is:

He asked them why they had been sitting there.
