Question

Estas oraciones en reported speech

Answer 1

Ok, a partir de la dos, ¿verdad?

Antes de darte las respuestas te diré cómo funciona el report speech.

Se usa para lo que dice, reportar y el la estructura es:

El sujeto que habla + said/asked/etc. that o told me, etc. + el tense y adjetivos posesivos cambiados.

El present simple se vuelve past simple.
El past simple se vuelve past perfect.
El present continuous se vuelve past continuous.
El past continuous se vuelve past perfect continuous.
El past perfect se mantiene.
Las oraciones con will, se vuelven would.

Con eso es suficiente, creo. Ahora las respuestas:
