В каждом диалоге мы использовали прошедшее время, так как все события произошли в прошлом. В косвенной речи мы также меняем местами вопросительные и восклицательные предложения на повествовательные предложения. Обратите внимание, что в третьем диалоге было использовано будущее время в косвенной речи, чтобы выразить возможность игры на пианино.
