Grammar - Reported speech - 5 *** Correct the mistakes, as in the example.

Решение:

1. He asked me what time it was. (В косвенной речи порядок слов как в утверждении).
2. I told him why he had done that. (Аналогично, порядок слов утвердительный).
3. Betty asked me if I had a pet. (В косвенных вопросах используется 'if' или 'whether', и порядок слов утвердительный).
4. Mike told Joanne that he would like to go to the cinema. ('If she would like' - ошибка, нужно прямое утверждение 'that he would like').
5. She asked me whether I had seen floating lanterns before. ('whether' используется для вопросов с 'or not' или когда есть выбор, здесь подходит 'if' или 'whether', но порядок слов должен быть утвердительным).
