From the words or group of words lettered A-D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
The man said that he ________
had eaten there the previous day
ate here yesterday
has eaten there before
had eaten there yesterday
Explicació
"had eaten there the previous day" correctly shifts the tense for reported speech. You use the past tense "had" and the distant adjective "there" instead of "here". Also, "the previous day" is used instead of "yesterday".
