Hi

A conjunction is a word used to connect clauses or sentences. As a conjunction: Let's go home now, it's late, plus I am not feeling well.

An adjective is a word used to modify a noun or a pronoun. As an adjective: A plus factor is that you don't have to go to school if you are sick.

As a preposition: Two plus two is four.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards Nicci

You use "in that" to introduce an explanation of a statement you have just made. (i.e. I'm lucky in that I've got two wonderful sisters). It's a conjunction. You can use "because" instead, even though there can be a difference: "because" is more a statement of causality, while "in that" is used to describe a relationship or a perception.

Hope it can help.

Hello Niky. It depends on the context you are using the above mentioned sentences. There is a possibility of them all being ok apart from C. In my opinion, that would be wrong.

Hi Richard When changing direct speech to reported speech, there are modifications to pronouns, time adverbials and verb tense (most often). Back-shifting happens when a verb tense is shifted back from a present tense to a past form in reported speech, although it doesn’t happen in all reported speech. It is also known as the sequence-of-tense rule.

“I am feeling sick.” He said he was feeling sick. “Where did you get that?” Mom asked where I had got that. “I have seen the doctor.” You said you had seen the doctor. “Can I come with you?” she asked She asked if she could come with us

We use backshift when it is logical to use backshift. Eddy said "I am hungry" Eddy said that he was hungry. (Yesterday) Eddy just said that he is hungry. (Now) (No back-shifting required – not logical because Eddy is still hungry)

When the main verb in the reported speech is in the present tense, the verb in the reported phrase does not change. “He is coming.” She says that he is coming. “They came last week.” He says they came yesterday. “I can do it.” He says he can do it.

Best Regards
