Here are the reported remarks beginning with **‘He told me…’**:

**a.** He told me that he **had been working for four hours**.

*Explanation*: The original sentence is in the **Present Perfect Continuous** tense. In reported speech, we shift it back one tense to **Past Perfect Continuous** (had been + V₁-ing).

**b.** He told me that she **had had her meal in the college canteen**.

*Explanation*: The original uses **Present Perfect** (has/have + V₃). In reported speech, it becomes **Past Perfect** (had + V₃). Note the double ‘had’ for clarity.

**c.** He told me that he **would do his responsibility honestly**.

*Explanation*: The original is in the **Future Simple** (will + V₁). In reported speech, it becomes **Conditional** (would + V₁).

**d.** He told me that students **were trying their best for excellent achievement**.

*Explanation*: The original is in the **Present Continuous** (am/is/are + V₁-ing). In reported speech, it shifts to **Past Continuous** (was/were + V₁-ing).

**e.** He told me that health workers **were demanding better remuneration**.
