2. James said they were good at putting on bandages.
Explanation: In reported speech, we need to change the pronouns and verb tenses according to the context. Since "James" is the subject of the sentence, we need to change it to "he" or "she" depending on the gender of James. In this case, we don't know the gender, so we can use "they" as a neutral pronoun. Additionally, "are" changes to "were" to reflect past tense.

3. The doctor said the patient was feeling much better.
Explanation: Here, we have to change the present tense verb "is" to the past tense verb "was" to match the reported speech.

4. Toby said he needed to use the telephone.
Explanation: In this sentence, "need" changes to "needed" to reflect the past tense in reported speech. Additionally, we change the pronoun "I" to "he" to match the reported speech.

Overall, it is important to remember that reported speech requires changes in verb tenses, pronouns, and sometimes other words in order to accurately convey the original speaker's words to someone else.
