Question

Тема: согласование времён

Answer 1

Ответ:

1 lived

2 started

3 they were

4 didn't

5 weren't

6 couldn't

7 we were

8 didn't

Объяснение:

Если в главной части глагол, вводящий прямую речь, имеет форму прошедшего времени, то в придаточной части (косвенной речи) нужно использовать прошедшее время.

Настоящее время сохраняется в косвенной речи, только если исходное предложение в прямой речи представляет собой "вечную истину" - научный факт, всегда актуальную информацию, например:

Our teacher told us that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
