Answer:
You: Can you give me your car for a few days?
Charlie: My car was stolen a few weeks ago.
This is the conversation between Charlie and You yesterday.
Later that day you tell another friend about what Charlie said.
Use reported Speech:
He said that his car had been stolen a few weeks ago.
SOLUTION
When we're reporting a speech, we're narrating things that happened or were said in the past. So, the speech will go one tense back.
In reported speech, we add a reporting verb (usually 'said'), the subject changes in narration ('he', 'she' or 'they') and the related words also change.
Option A: For the reported speech, 'my' changes to 'his', as the point of view has changed. 'Was stolen' is in the simple past tense, it changes to 'had been stolen', the past perfect tense.
So, the corrected reported speech for the sentence "My car was stolen a few weeks ago." is:
'He said that his car had been stolen a few weeks ago.'
