Question

Rewrite the sentences in direct speech.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. We're going at 7.30 p.m.
2. I'm looking for someone with good qualifications
3. The film has already started
4. I'm too late for work
5. I lost my camera at the beach
6. We're too tired to visit you

Explanation:

Reported speech is used to report or communicate what someone has said. In that respect, the tense in direct speech is shifted one tense back in reported statements and questions. Thus, Present Simple moves to Past Simple, Past Simple and Present Perfect move to Past Perfect, and Present Continuous moves to Past Continuous in reported speech.
