Jack said to his sister, ‘I have bought a new house’.

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The correct answer is ‘Jack told his sister that he had bought a new house’ because in reported speech the pronoun and tense change. Here, the pronoun ‘I’ changes to ‘he’ and ‘have + past participle of the verb, bought’ changes to ‘had + past participle of the verb, bought’.
