Answer 1

Answer:

He said he hoped to be invited to the party.

Explanation:

The sentence,

He said he hoped to be invited to the party.

is a reported speech or an indirect speech.

Usually, when we write an indirect speech, the verbs are in past form. For example, if the direct speech is in the simple present tense, the indirect speech will be in the simple past tense.

Let's look at some examples of indirect speech.

Answer 2

Answer:

He said he hoped to be invited to the party.

Explanation:

The original verb "hope" is conjugated to "hoped". This is because the sentenced is in the past tense as conveyed by the pas-tense "said".

"Hoped" is the past participle for the past tense. Use had hoped for the past perfect tense, if the event happened long ago.
