Hi,
English Grammar | LearnEnglish | British Council | Reported speech 1
Past simple and past continuous tenses
Direct speech: “I was walking down the road when I saw the accident.”
In my opinion, it is wrong. Because it is ambiguous although the page says 'yes, it is right', is that right?
It must be :
'He told me that he was walking down the road when he saw the accident.'
Is that right?
Thanks...
