1. She told him that it looked delicious, darling.

In this sentence, we are reporting what someone else said to another person. The person speaking is a female, and she is telling someone (referred to as "him") that something looks delicious. We need to change the sentence into reported speech, which means we need to use reporting verbs and make necessary changes to pronouns, tenses, and adverbs if needed.

The reporting verb in this case is "told." Since the sentence is in the past tense, we need to change the reported speech to past tense as well. We also need to change the pronoun "that" to "it" since we are referring to something specific, and add the adverb "darling" at the end of the reported speech.

2. She told the teacher that she had done the homework but her dog had eaten it.

In this sentence, we have two actions that happened in the past. The person speaking is a female, and she is telling her teacher what happened with her homework. She says that she did the homework, but her dog ate it. To report this speech, we need to use the reporting verb "told" and change the tenses and pronouns accordingly.

Both actions happened in the past, so we need to change "did" to "had done" and "ate" to "had eaten." We also need to change the pronouns "I" and "my" to "she" and "her" since we are reporting someone else's speech.

3. He said he hadn't had a cigarette since he had seen him the previous week.

In this sentence, we have two past actions. The person speaking is a male, and he is talking about not smoking since he saw someone else the previous week. To report this speech, we use the reporting verb "said" and change the tenses and pronouns accordingly.

The original sentence is in the present perfect tense, so we need to change "haven't" to "hadn't" and "saw" to "had seen." We also need to change the pronoun "I" to "he" and "you" to "him" since we are reporting someone else's speech.

4. He told me he couldn't come to work today because he wasn't feeling well.

In this sentence, someone is telling the speaker that they cannot come to work because they are feeling unwell. The person speaking is male, and he is reporting someone else's words. To report this speech, we use the reporting verb "told" and make necessary changes to tenses and pronouns.

The original sentence is in the present tense, so we need to change "can't" to "couldn't" and "am not" to "wasn't." We also need to change the pronoun "I" to "he" since we are reporting someone else's speech.
