4. Masha said that she goes to school five days a week.
To change the direct speech into reported speech, we need to use the reporting verb "said" in the past tense ("said") and shift the verb tense of the reported speech from present simple ("go") to past simple ("went"). Additionally, we change the pronoun "I" to "she" to reflect that Masha is talking about herself.

2. The doctor told me that he had written out a prescription for an earache for me.
Here, we use the reporting verb "told" in the past tense and change the pronoun "me" to "I". Additionally, we shift the verb tense of the reported speech from past simple ("wrote") to past perfect ("had written") to indicate an action completed before the reporting verb.

3. I said that I would buy some milk for you.
In this case, we use the reporting verb "said" in the past tense and change the pronoun "I" to "he" to reflect the perspective of the speaker. Additionally, we shift the verb tense of the reported speech from future simple ("I'll buy") to conditional future ("I would buy") to indicate reported speech about a future action.

4. Mother said that she was washing up in the kitchen.
Here, we use the reporting verb "said" in the past tense and change the pronoun "I" to "she" to indicate the perspective of the speaker. Additionally, we shift the verb tense of the reported speech from present continuous ("am washing up") to past continuous ("was washing up") to reflect the reported speech in the past.

5. Tom told me that he had already done his homework.
In this case, we use the reporting verb "told" in the past tense and change the pronoun "me" to "I". Additionally, we shift the verb tense of the reported speech from present perfect ("have already done") to past perfect ("had already done") to indicate an action completed before the reporting verb.

6. Tim's father told him that he had been waiting for him for 10 minutes.
Here, we use the reporting verb "told" in the past tense. We keep the pronoun "him" to indicate the perspective of the reported speech. Additionally, we shift the verb tense of the reported speech from present perfect continuous ("have been waiting") to past perfect continuous ("had been waiting") to indicate an action continuous in the past.
