• In the given exercise, we need to fill in the blanks by transforming the dialogues into indirect speeches.

• In the first sentence, 'I' changes to 'she' since 'girl' has been mentioned.

• In the second sentence, 'have' changed to 'had' since the reporting verb is in the past tense.

• In the third sentence, 'got' is changed to 'had gotten.' The present perfect tense changes to the past perfect tense.
