Answer 2

I can help you report the sentences in direct speech. Direct speech is a way of writing the exact words that someone said. You need to use quotation marks, a reporting verb, and sometimes a linker to connect the reporting verb to the reported speech. Here are some examples of how to report the sentences you gave:

1) His uncle said, "I had finished my work by 4 o'clock yesterday." -> His uncle said (that) he had finished his work by 4 o'clock the previous day. 2) Corneliu said, "What are you doing at the moment?" -> Corneliu asked what I was doing at that moment. 3) My granny said, "Who won the elections?" -> My granny asked who had won the elections. 4) Sanda said, "Were you playing computer games the whole evening yesterday?" -> Sanda asked if I had been playing computer games the whole evening the day before. 5) Gabi said, "What will you be doing from 5 till 7 tomorrow?" -> Gabi asked what I would be doing from 5 till 7 the next day. 6) Mum said, "Petrica, don't talk with your mouth full." -> Mum told Petrica not to talk with his mouth full. 7) The teacher said, "Sit up straight at the desk and listen to me." -> The teacher ordered us to sit up straight at the desk and listen to him. 8) Mother said, "A real friend never betrays you." -> Mother said (that) a real friend never betrays you.
