Reported speech and questions Hey! I had to do exercises about reported speech/questions and I have some doubts about these sentences. The book has the direct speech and the beginning of the reported speech/question so I had to complete the last part. What it's written in caps its what I wrote. Can you tell me if this is correct or not? Reported speech: "I saw the film on TV" - Julie said that SHE HAD SEEN THE FILM ON TV. "I've bought a new car" - Paul told us that HE HAD BOUGHT A NEW CAR. "I'll book a table" - He said HE WOULD BOOK A TABLE. Reported questions: "What music do you like?" - I asked her what music SHE LIKED "Have you been to New York?" - I asked them IF THEY HAD BEEN TO NEW YORK. "Where did you live before?" - He asked me WHERE I HAD LIVED. "Where are you from?" - I asked him WHERE HE WAS FROM. Thank you!

Hi Lucia, All looks well, you've done a great job. I did notice a few mistakes in your introduction that i'd be happy to point out to you privately. In regards to your answers to the exercises, they were all correct. Whilst this might complicate things, you can write "she'd" and "he'd" instead of "she had" or "he had" as the apostrophe represents the missing letters therefore it is grammatically correct. For example, Paul told us that he'd bought a new car. I hope this helps. Evie
