Answer 1

Ответ:

Объяснение:Ted said (that)
he had spent
the previous evening  correcting his project.

The boy told his friends (that) …
that had been
his best holiday ever.

The travel agent told me …
I could book the tickets
the next day.

4 "Sara said (that) …
she was trying to be friendly.

Answer 2

Когда вы переводите прямую речь в косвенную, вы изменяете форму глагола и можете внести небольшие изменения во времени и месте указания. Вот, как можно переформулировать данные высказывания в косвенной речи:

1. Ted said that he had spent last evening correcting his project.

2. The boy told his friends that it had been his best holiday ever.

3. The travel agent told me that I could book the tickets the next day.

4. Sara said that she was trying to be friendly.

Здесь мы видим изменения времени (прошедшее время вместо настоящего времени), а также замену места указания (замена "this" на "that").
