220 Turn the following dialogue into Reported Speech. Sally: Have you applied for the job?
Ответ:
The Reported Speech for the dialogue is: Sally asked Diane if she had applied for the job.
**Explanation:**
* **Original Dialogue:** Sally: Have you applied for the job?
* **Reported Speech:** Sally asked Diane if she had applied for the job.
In reported speech, we report what someone said without using their exact words. Here's how the conversion is done:
1. **Reporting Verb:** 'asked' is used to report a question.
2. **'if'/'whether':** Since the original sentence is a yes/no question, we use 'if' to introduce the reported question.
3. **Pronoun Change:** 'you' (referring to Diane) changes to 'she'.
4. **Verb Tense:** The present perfect 'have you applied' changes to the past perfect 'had applied'.
5. **Full Sentence:** The resulting reported question is: Sally asked Diane if she had applied for the job.
