reported speech
Hi all,
I am not a native speaker of English. And I don't know if you, the native, do such a thing in your English lessons. Here in spain we are taught the reported speech. It's what someone said in direct or indirect form:
John said he wasn't ready. (indirect)
John said "I am not ready". (direct)
My question:
How can you turn the following line into direct speech?
Peter said they wouldn't have come if they had known.
That's my problem. I just can't come up with the solution altough I think it must be a pretty obvious one.
Thanks!
