There are two ways to correct this sentence, which is an ungrammatical mixture of direct and indirect speech.First, you can turn it into direct speech by using the appropriate punctuation (quotation marks and a question mark):Jerry asked "How was the lunch you had with mother?"Second, you can turn it into indirect speech by rewriting it, for example:Jerry asked her how the lunch with their mother had been.Note that when you turn a question from direct to indirect speech there are two essential elements. One is that the order of the verb and subject is reversed: 'how was the lunch' becomes 'how the lunch had been'. The other is that the tense of the verb goes a step further back into the past: 'was' becomes 'had been'.
