Answer:

1. He said that he would phone me next day.
2. Bob said ," I enjoy working in my garden ".
3. She said, " l lived in four countries by age of ten."
4. Doctor asked me that where I was having pain.

Answer 2

The correct answers will be:

1. He said that he will phone me the next day.

• explanation- Reported speech uses words like "say" if the sentence is in present tense but here the sentence here is in present continuous tense so we shall use "said".

2. Bob said, "I enjoy working in my garden".

• explanation- In indirect speech, the verbs are in past tense so to convert the sentence into direct speech we have used the present tense. We shall also have to quote what the person said when converting a sentence into direct speech.

3. She said, "I lived in four countries by the age of ten".

• explanation- As the sentence depicts that it is a past tense then we shall maintain the past tense in the direct speech as well and we shall also quote the sentence which is spoken.

4. Doctor asked me where I had pain.

• explanation- In the sentence as "ASKED" is mentioned which depicts past tense so we will rewrite the whole sentence in past tense only.
