Herbert explicitly distinguishes her personal motivation for founding Sync Labs from concerns about employment conditions. Suppose a writer incorporates her statement into a retrospective report using conventional backshift.

Original statement:

"I didn't start Sync Labs due to concerns about the labor market."

Which sentence appropriately reports the statement?
On Monday, a teacher said:
"I may send the revised material tomorrow, but I haven't finished checking it yet."
On Wednesday, another teacher reports what was said.
Which sentence accurately reports the original statement from the later temporal perspective? 
Considere a fala apresentada no quarto parágrafo: “I have noticed that some of you give up when you cannot understand every word in these recordings.”

Ao relatar posteriormente esse episódio em uma narrativa situada integralmente no passado, empregando a sequência convencional de tempos do discurso indireto e realizando as alterações referenciais necessárias, a professora deveria registrar:
Ao transformar a pergunta 'Are you coming to the party?' para o discurso indireto, a forma 'He asked if I was coming to the party' e a forma 'He wanted to know if I was coming to the party' são semanticamente idênticas, sendo ambas opções válidas para relatar a pergunta original.
Ao converter a frase 'I will check my emails tomorrow' para o discurso indireto (reported speech), com o verbo introdutório no passado ('She said...'), a forma correta seria 'She said she would check her emails the next day'. Nessa conversão, a alteração do tempo verbal ('will' para 'would') é mandatória, mas a alteração do advérbio de tempo ('tomorrow' para 'the next day') é opcional.
