Объяснение правил

При переводе прямой речи в косвенную (Indirect Speech) обычно происходят следующие изменения:

• Present Simple → Past Simple: am → was, live → lived, study → studied.

• Present Continuous → Past Continuous: are discussing → were discussing.

• Present Perfect → Past Perfect: have submitted → had submitted.

• Past Simple → Past Perfect: did enjoy → had enjoyed.

• Future Simple → Future in the Past: will → would.

• Can → Could: can help → could help.

Также изменяются указатели времени:

• tomorrow → the following day / the next day;

• tonight → that night.

В косвенных вопросах используется прямой порядок слов: сначала подлежащее, затем сказуемое. В общих вопросах употребляются if или whether, а в специальных сохраняются вопросительные слова (where, what, how many).

При передаче приказов и просьб обычно используется конструкция told + object + to + verb.

Примечание: В предложениях 4 и 11 местоимения them и me выбраны условно, поскольку в исходных предложениях не указано, к кому обращались говорящие.
