Explanation: We change the sentence structure from a direct question ("Where are you going for the weekend?") to an indirect question ("Ann asked where the person was going for the weekend").
2. The teacher asked the pupils what they were talking about.
Explanation: We change the sentence structure from a direct question ("What are you talking about?") to an indirect question ("The teacher asked the pupils what they were talking about").
3. I asked my friend how long he had stayed in London.
Explanation: We change the tense from past simple ("did you stay") to past perfect ("had stayed") because the reported speech is referring to a past event.
4. He asked me what I would do after school.
Explanation: We change the tense from future simple ("will you do") to future in the past ("would do") because the reported speech is referring to a future event from the perspective of the past.
5. She asked her friend what he usually did in the evening.
Explanation: We change the tense from present simple ("do you usually do") to past simple ("did in the evening") because the reported speech is referring to a past routine.
6. Mike asked me where he could see me the next time.
Explanation: We change the word order ("to see you next time") and remove the word "to" from "to next time" to make the sentence grammatically correct and more natural.
7. Tom asked how long it would take us to go there by plane.
Explanation: We change the tense from future simple ("will it take") to future in the past ("would take") because the reported speech is referring to a future event from the perspective of the past.
