• If the reporting verb is in the past tense, the tense of the reported verb is transformed to the matching past form, according to the principles of narration and reporting. In the provided sentence, although the reporting verb, is not present the narration provided is in the past tense. As a result, the reported verb 'do', 'eat' and "will" will become 'did', 'ate', 'would'. The  pronoun will be replaced by the third-person pronoun 'she.'
• If we change the narration of the given sentences "Mother: Rita, finish your food. Rita: I do not want to have this food. You never give me a pizza or burger. Mother: They are not good for your health. You had pizza at your friend's birthday party last evening. Rita: OK, then give me French fries and shake. Mother: If you live only on junk food, you will spoil your health.", the all of them will simply change and the resultant tense will be, present, as this is in. The changed version looks like this, "Mother told Rita to finish her food. Rita replied that she did not want to have that food and told her mother that she never gave her a pizza or burger. The mother said that they were not good for her health and reminded her that she ate burgers and pizzas at her friend's birthday party. Rita then asked her mother to give her French fries and a shake. The mother warned her that if she lived only on junk food (iii)then, she would spoil her health.
