She said to him, “why is the eye exam difficult?”

Reported Speech

He asked me where I had my medical exam.

When you report the Wh – questions do not use the auxiliaries (do, does, did, have, has, will, etc) any more. If the verb to be is included, bring first the “noun” to move the “verb to be” after it.
