Hello,
I'm having difficulty with some sentences that use the indirect speech.
1). She says, "I'll meet you tomorrow at five".
She said that she would meet me the next day at five.
What if she said that yesterday and I'm reporting her words now? (We are meeting at five today). Are both alternatives possible?
She said she will meet me today at five.
She said she would meet me today at five.
2). He says, "I'm leaving on Monday. I've already bought the tickets".
How should I report his words (considering it's the end of the week now?) Is the sentece below possible?
He said he was leaving on Monday.
I'd be most grateful if someone could help me.
Thank you!
