Как переделать этот текст в косвенную речь, подскажите пожалуйста

  • Sally | was nineteen years old. ||
    She had always lived with her parents,| but now the time had come for her to go to university| in another part of the country | to study to be a doctor. ||
    Her mother was very sad about this,| and she was also afraid,| because she loved her daughter very much,| and she thought, |
    "My little girl will be alone | for the first time in her life.| She won't know anybody. | There will be nobody to look after her,| and perhaps| she will have trouble,| or she will be very sad | because she isn't with us."||
    Sally said goodbye to her father | and to her cat, | and promised to telephone | every week. ||
    Then her mother took her to the university| by train. ||
    When they said goodbye, | her mother cried, | and on the way back home | she cried again. ||
    Then | every week| Sally kept her promise | and telephoned. ||
    They talked for several minutes, | and Sally was always very happy| and never said | that she missed her parents. ||
    Her mother was not glad | about this. ||
    She thought, | "Perhaps she's finding the university | nicer than her home."||
    But then | some holidays | were getting near. ||
    That week,| when Sally telephoned her parents,| she said, | "The students who live here | were talking yesterday evening,| and they said,|
    'We're very happy | that we're going to return home again | soon | for a few days.'"||
    Sally's mother was very glad | that the students had said this. ||
    "She must really miss us," | she thought. ||
    Then she said, | "And did you say that too?"||
    "Oh, | yes!" | Sally answered. ||
    "We all said | that it's easy to speak to our parents on the telephone | every week| when we're away,| but we really miss our pets!"

  • Уточните задание. Вам нужно перевести только прямую речь в косвенную? То есть Then she said, | "And did you say that too?" ---- She said if Sally said that. И что обозначают палочки, черточки? Потому что он частично уже в косвенной.

  • Да, только прямую речь в косвенную. Чёрточки были расставлены в бумажном варианте текста, возможно, они обозначают паузы при чтении вслух)

  • Все правила по косвенной речи прочитайте чуть ниже. Вопрос так и назывался "косвенная речь". Там подробно расписано и про вопросы, и про утверждения, и про согласование времён.
