Anna said, “This hill is really steep.” “This” should become “that”, could you please explain more? Thanks very much.

Dear Ng, I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are talking about reported speech, which is the topic of the lesson, you might say, "Anna said that hill was really steep." The quote "This hill is really steep" is accurate because Anna was on the hill while she was speaking. Best wishes, Dr. Jill

Anna asked if Rick was ready. Hank said that he had never seen anyone try so hard. Kurt asked if Anna was ready to go on the rollercoaster. Anna said that the hill was really steep. Penelope said that she thought they had enough test drive video. Anna said that she thought she should go again.
