Explanation:
The original sentences were written in direct speech, which means the exact words said by the characters or people were reproduced. For example:
- Tina said, "I don't think we should go now."
<u>The reported speech does not directly reproduce the speaker's words. The quotation marks disappear, and the one reporting makes changes to what was said, especially concerning the subject, the verb tense, and time expressions.</u> Take a look at the example below:
- Tina said, "I don't think we should go now." (direct) X Tina said she didn't think they should go then.
<u>That is what we did in the sentences above. We reported what people said or asked by making changes. The subjects were substituted by the corresponding names or pronouns; the verb tenses were changed to their forms; and questions were structured as statements.</u>
