Answer 1

1)They asked if they could play in there

2) He asked if they were competing in the race that night.

3) She asked if they had left.

Answer 2

To report a question that starts with a question word, we use the reporting verb "ask" or "wonder" and then use the question word in the reported question. For example:

Original question: "What time does the movie start?" Reported question: He asked what time the movie started.

To report a question that starts with a modal verb, we use the reporting verb "ask" or "wonder" and then use the modal verb in the reported question. For example:

Original question: "Can you help me with this?" Reported question: She wondered if I could help her with that.

To report a yes/no question, we use the reporting verb "ask" or "wonder" and then use the word "whether" or "if" in the reported question. For example:

Original question: "Did you finish your homework?" Reported question: They asked whether I had finished my homework.

The abbreviation "W int W Co TH" is not clear and does not seem to relate to reporting questions. Could you please provide more context or clarify the meaning of this abbreviation?
