Hello,
Could a native speaker help me with this question?
Let's take this direct speech statement:
Laura: "I would do it now if you wanted me to."
Which of the following reported-speech statements derived from the above is/are natural?
The reported-speech statement is said many months later, when Laura's offer has expired (is no longer valid).
If more than one is natural, please say so!
1) Laura said she would do it then if he wanted her to.
2) Laura said she would have done it then if he wanted her to.
3) Laura said she would do it then if he had wanted her to.
4) Laura said she would have done it then if he had wanted her to.
What about formal vs informal style?
Thank you! :-D
