Объяснение:

Если в главной части глагол, вводящий прямую речь, имеет форму прошедшего времени, то в придаточной части (косвенной речи) нужно использовать прошедшее время.

5. It is not likely that Jena and her husband will join the club.

Объяснение:

Complex Subject - это ‘сложное подлежащее’. Сложное, потому что сложено из двух частей: существительное\местоимение + инфинитив. А между двумя частями подлежащего вклинивается сказуемое.

Важно:

Сказуемое здесь выражено глаголом в пассивном залоге, исключение — глаголы appear, seem, happen, prove, turn out.

Сказуемое может быть выражено не только глаголом, но и сочетанием «to be + прилагательное»: be likely, be unlikely и др.

Глагол (сказуемое) теоретически может быть в любом времени, но чаще — в настоящем (is unlikely, seems, are said).

Объяснение:

Объяснение:

Это разделительный вопрос с утвердительной главной частью и глаголом в past simple, поэтому в хвостике нужен вспомогательный глагол did + not и местоимение вместо подлежащего. А поскольку подлежащее является неопределенным местоимением, то заменить его надо словом they.
