Reported speech

Convert these three direct quotes into reported speech. Watch tense backshift, time markers, and pronouns. 1) Liam said: 'I've been training every day.' 2) Coach asked: 'Are you tapering this week?' 3) Mum said: 'I'll pick you up at six tomorrow.'

↳ Past → past perfect; 'tomorrow' → 'the next day'; questions become statements with 'if' / 'whether'.
