Question

You: I am visiting London next week.

Charlie: You can come and stay at my flat if you are in London.

This is the conversation between Charlie and You yesterday.

Later that day you tell another friend about what Charlie said.

Use reported Speech:

• A. He said that he could come and stay at his flat if he was ever in London.
• B. He said that I can come and stay at his flat if I was ever in London.
• C. He said that I could come and stay at his flat if I was ever in London.
  
• D. He said that I can come and stayed at his flat if I was ever in London.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

He said that I could come and stay at his flat if I was ever in London.

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.

'Can' changes to 'could'. If there is present tense in direct speech, then tense of indirect speech will not change. 'Are' is used in simple present tense thus it will change to 'was/were' according to the pronoun.

Indirect speech would be - He said I could come and stay at his flat if I was ever in London.

Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules.
