Explanation
When converting from direct to reported speech, the tense of the verbs shifts back. Simple past ('watched', 'was') becomes past perfect ('had watched', 'had been'), simple present ('does') becomes simple past ('did'), and present modals ('will') become past modals ('would'). Time expressions and demonstratives also change, such as 'last night' to 'the previous night' and 'this' to 'that'.
