  1. 1. (c) goes — A singular subject takes 'goes'.
  2. 2. (d) are — Plural subject 'houses' takes 'are built'.
  3. 3. (a) would — 'Will' back-shifts to 'would'.
  4. 4. (b) much — 'Much' is used with the uncountable noun 'milk'.
  5. 5. The rule that the verb must match its subject in number (singular or plural).
  6. 6. With the object first, a form of 'be', and the past participle of the verb.
  7. 7. To change direct speech into reported speech, we report what a person said without using their exact words or quotation marks. Three main changes are usually needed. First, the tense generally shifts one step back: present tenses become past (am/is becomes was, go becomes went), and 'will' becomes 'would'. Second, pronouns are changed to suit the point of view of the speaker and listener (for example, 'I' may become 'he' or 'she', and 'you' may become 'I' or 'me'). Third, words showing time and place are changed appropriately: 'now' becomes 'then', 'today' becomes 'that day', 'here' becomes 'there', and 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'. The reporting verb and structure also change with the type of sentence — statements use 'said that', questions use 'asked' with a change in word order, and commands use 'told' with 'to' before the verb. Following these rules turns a quotation into correct reported speech.
