Problem 17 - Entrance Test

Which of the following is the correct indirect speech? Direct: He said, "I bought a new car last week."

Correct: A

The past simple tense 'bought' changes to past perfect 'had bought' in indirect speech. 'Last week' changes to 'the previous week' or 'the week before'. The correct answer is: He said that he had bought a new car the previous week.
