Question:
The reported-speech version of the sentence 'The doctor said to the patient, "You must rest for a week"' is:
1.
The doctor told the patient that he had to rest for a week.
2.
The doctor told the patient that he should rest for a week.
3.
The doctor advised the patient to have rested for a week.
4.
The doctor told the patient that he must rest for a week.
Correct Answer: The doctor told the patient that he must rest for a week.
Rule: the modal "must" remains unchanged in reported speech. "Had to" would wrongly suggest a completed past obligation.
