Answer 1

Reported speech requires a few changes in punctuation and the verb forms used. Here are the reported speech versions of the given sentences:

Mike says that he has a lot of homework. Jane asks for help with her homework. Jack asks if I went to the shops yesterday. Jack also asks what time I will leave home for school. Jack asks if I was having a bath when he phoned. Jack asks if I am doing my homework now. Jack asks if I have been to India. Jack asks when I saw her last.

Note the changes in verb tense and pronoun usage in reported speech.
