I tried to change this sentence to indirect question
3) what was the moment when you finally said I am an Irish rocker but I’m also now fully engaged in this topic?
Indirect question
He asked Bono what had been the moment when finally you had said you are an Irish rocker but you are also now fully engaged in that topic.
Change each 'you' to 'he' and adjust the verbs to match. What do you get?
He asked Bono what had been the moment when finally he had said he is an Irish rocker but he is also now fully engaged in that topic.
That's a bit wordy. Try this:
He asked Bono exactly when he had finally said he was an Irish rocker, but was also now fully engaged in that topic.
To change the given sentence into an indirect question, follow these steps:
1) Identify the main verb of the sentence, which in this case is "was."
2) Introduce a reporting verb, such as "asked" or "wondered," to frame the indirect question.
3) Change the word order of the direct question by placing the subject (Bono) before the reporting verb (asked) and the indirect question itself.
4) Also, change the pronouns to reflect the perspective of the person being asked the question. In this case, "you" should be changed to "had."
5) Use reported speech to change the direct speech to indirect speech, including switching the tense of the main verb, if necessary.
Following the above steps, the indirect question version of the sentence would be:
"He asked Bono what had been the moment when finally you had said you are an Irish rocker but you are also now fully engaged in that topic."
Please note that this version could be further simplified by eliminating the unnecessary word repetitions:
"He asked Bono what had been the moment when you finally said you are an Irish rocker but you are also now fully engaged in that topic."
