Explanation

The interrogative sentence helps you enquire. So, the reporting verb changes accordingly. As the reporting verb is in past tense, the sentence converts into the same, as it is in simple present. The pronoun in the sentence is in second person. It changes into first person as the listener is assumed as first person.
