"When I finish the book, I'm going to watch the television", said Carol.
How would you transform this sentence into reported speech?
I offer two different kinds of it:
1) When she would finish the book, she was going to watch the television.
2) When she finished the book, she was going to watch the television.
But the book where I check the answer out said:
When she had finished the book, she was going to watch the television.
What do you think of it? I think the sentence the book provides is ungrammatical!
