Change the sentences into reported speech. Use the sequence of tenses where necessary.

2. He asked, "Why do you always come home so late?"
3. She asked, "Was this man a doctor?"
4. Kate said to me, "I've finished your book. It was very interesting."
5. The teacher said, "The Earth goes round the moon."
6. The British Prime Minister said, "Russia is a great country."
7. My friend asked me "Should I come to your place or stay at home?"

I want to give it a try (native English speakers, please correct me where necessary) I have just looked up what indirect speech is so I hope I get it right.

1. Peter told his little brother that he mustn't open this door.
2. He asked you why you always come home so late.
3. She asked if this man was a doctor.
4. Kate said that she finished the book and that it was very interesting.
5. The teacher said that the earth goes round the moon
