Default Re: tenses, indirect speech and Q&A

Thank you for your very detailed reply.

I have been able to get my co-worker to accept and understand that both are used, but now she wants to know which is more common, so she can decide which one to show in her exercises!!!

I have sent an email to friends who are teachers, but wondered what your opinon is.

To me it seems to depend on the kind of emphasize the writer/speaker wants to give???
