questions
If you have to transform a question in direct speech into reported/indirect speech, you have to change the same things as in a statement:
1. pronoun change
2. time-shift
3. time-words change
But don't forget that you change from a question (direct speech) into a statement (indirect/reported speech).
Therefore you have to be careful about the sentence structure: SVO!!
examples
A) question without a question word => whether or if (deutsch: ob)
Harry: "Do you play tennis?" - Peter asked me whether / (if) I played tennis.
B) question with a question word => use the question word
Harry: "When do you play tennis?" - Peter asked me when I played tennis.
