I have some ideas about TV programmes.There are many channels on television nowadays.There is a chanel about sport,about music,about animals and pets,news and politics.It would be a good thing to create such channel as "Teenagers".In my opinion it would be a very popular channel.Nowadays ,teenagers have many problems which are got a start in connection with people the same age ,doing home work quickly,bad relationships with parents, harmfull habits ,wrong spending free time and others.I think this channel can broadcast the usefull programmes that will be very helpfull for teens. It can be studing programmes,chating with the psychologists and some interesting films for the definite age.

2. Действие в  Past Perfect (Continuous) или в Future-in-the-Past.

3. Обстоятельства времени не изменились. He said that he bought it yesterday. Он сказал, что купил это вчера.

4. Утверждение всегда верно. The teacher said that water boils at 100 C. Учитель сказал, что вода кипит при ста градусах.

5. Утверждение верно длительный период времени или в текущем отрезке времени. She said that she loves you. Она сказала, что любит тебя.

10. Глагол must в значении «должно быть». He said that they must be at home. Он сказал, что они должно быть дома.

Для передачи общих вопросов используется if или whether. Вопросительные предложения передаются с прямым порядком слов: He asked me if/whether they were at home. С глаголом-связкой порядок может быть обратным: He asked me what was the price.

При сдвиге временной формы глагола в в косвенной речи, по ситуации, изменяются обстоятельства места и времени, местоимения, а также, происходит отстранение от эмоций:

this – that, these – those, here – there, now  - then (at that moment, at once, immediately), come – go, today – (on) that day, yesterday – the day before(earlier), tomorrow  - (on) the next (following) day, last week – the week before, ago - before(earlier), next week – the next (following) week, now that – since, so – very, yes/no – answered in the positive/negative, he  - that man, we - they, come - go.

Если из прямой речи лицо не известно, используется местоимение they, а в словах автора wanted to know, wondered:

He said: “Come here”. – He told them to come up to him.

He said: “Where are you going?” – He wanted to know/wondered where they were going.
