Answer 2

My sister promised that she would finish her work in two days. He asked me if I had lived in Paris 2 years before.

When we use reported speech, we often need to change the tense of the verb in the reported clause. In the first sentence, the original sentence is "My sister promised, 'I will finish my work in two days'." When reporting this, we change the tense of the verb "will" to "would" to indicate that the promise was made in the past. Therefore, the sentence becomes "My sister promised that she would finish her work in two days."

In the second sentence, the original question is "He asked me, 'Did you live in Paris 2 years before?'" When reporting this, we change the tense of the verb "did" to "had" to indicate that the question is referring to a time before the current moment. Therefore, the sentence becomes "He asked me if I had lived in Paris 2 years before."

By changing the tense of the verbs in the reported speech, we accurately convey the meaning of the original sentences in a grammatically correct way.
