How to change this to indirect speech?

Hi,

She asked me, "What were you going to do after the concert?"

How will this look when changed to indirect speech?

She asked me what I had been going to do after the concert.

PS Oops, sorry, gave the game away.

Thank you, Calif Jim. Yes, this is indirect enough, but, unfortunately, the meaning is different. In my scenario, the girl in the above sentence met me at the bar, say, an hour after the concert, and was surprised to see me. So she asked me what my aftertheconcert plans had been. I said, "I was going to meet my girlfriend, go to her place and [let's say] have sex. But she didn't show up, so I'm here instead."

In your interpretation of that sentence, it seems like the girl at the bar is asking me about my plans so that we could go to HER place and have sex.

But, as you said, the perfect form of be going to sounded kind of weird to me, so I decided to ask that question.

I appreciate your help.

Hi guys,

I don't think we often use the perfect forms of the idiom be going to, do we?

I'm not so sure about that. Sounds fine to me. Also, less ambiguous in various cases. Each to their own, I guess.

Hi,

It might be worth pointing out to learners that in speech this tense would normally involve a quick contraction.

She asked me what I'd been going to do after the concert.

She asked me what I'd intended to do after the concert.
