thank you for your correcting.
i'd like you to reaffirm that Conditional sentences Type 2 & 3 aren't changed in tense in indirect speech.
Eg. is the rewritten sentence wrong?
" If I met you now, I would take you to a wonderful place," said Tom
___> Tom said that if he had met me then, he would have taken me to a wonderful place.
