Hi
When I change a sentence from the direct to the indirect speech, should I keep the past tense or change it to the past perfect?
E.g. He said, "I must tell you about a dream I had."
He said that he must tell me about a dream he had OR he had had. ?
She said, "When I was young...."
She said when she was or she had been young?
