change into indirect speech ​

Answer 1

The teacher remarked that they all have done it very badly

Answer 2

The teacher remarked that we all had done that very badly.

The rules to change a direct speech into an indirect speech are as follows :

• The comma and the double quotations are to be omitted.
• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation does not change if the reported verb is in present tense.
• The tense of the sentence inside the quotation changes accordingly if the reported verb is in past tense.
• Here , the reported verb is in simple past tense("remarked") , therefore the tense of the sentence inside quotation changes from present perfect tense to past perfect tense.
• ' You ' changes to 'we'.
• 'Have' becomes 'had'.
