3. I'd write this: Sally recommended that Steve read that book. ("read" is subjunctive)
In 9, I don't understand the phrase "book for the play." Explain, please!
All the others are fine.
She objected to travelling to London by train.
To construct the reported speech for this sentence, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the reporting verb or phrase. In this case, the reporting phrase is "she objected to."
Step 2: Identify the reported speech. The reported speech is "travelling to London by train."
Step 3: Use the appropriate reporting verb or phrase. Since the original sentence already includes a reporting phrase, we can carry over the verb "objected" to the reported speech.
Putting it all together, the reported speech would be: She objected to my travelling to London by train.
Note that in reported speech, it is common to change personal pronouns, possessive pronouns, and verb tenses according to the context. Here, "she" and "my" were used to match the subject in the original sentence and the subject being reported.
