Answer 2

To convert the given sentences into reported speech, we need to change the verbs according to the rules of reported speech. Let's go through each sentence and make the necessary changes:

1. "I can't find the motivation to take part in everyday activities."

In reported speech, the verb "can't" changes to "couldn't." Additionally, the pronoun "I" changes to the pronoun "she" because we are reporting someone else's words.

Reported speech: She couldn't find the motivation to take part in everyday activities.

2. "I am keen to take part given the opportunity."

In reported speech, the verb "am" changes to "was." Additionally, the pronoun "I" changes to the pronoun "he" because we are reporting someone else's words.

Reported speech: He was keen to take part given the opportunity.

3. "My son has benefited hugely from the support he has received."

In reported speech, the verb "has" changes to "had." Additionally, the pronoun "he" remains the same because we are reporting someone else's words.

Reported speech: My son had benefited hugely from the support he had received.

4. "I feel so much more positive about myself and the future."

In reported speech, the verb "feel" changes to "felt." Additionally, the pronoun "I" changes to the pronoun "she" because we are reporting someone else's words.

Reported speech: She felt so much more positive about herself and the future.

So, the sentences in reported speech with the changed verbs are as follows:

1. She couldn't find the motivation to take part in everyday activities. 2. He was keen to take part given the opportunity. 3. My son had benefited hugely from the support he had received. 4. She felt so much more positive about herself and the future.
