Your roommate Mark accidentally locked you out of the apartment and is now trying to explain himself. Select ALL the grammatically correct ways to report his original statement.
Mark's exact words: "I left the keys on the kitchen table."
The correct answers are Mark told me that he had left the keys on the kitchen table and Mark said he had left the keys on the kitchen table.
When reporting statements, the verb tell must be followed by a direct object (e.g., told me, told us), but never with "to".
The verb say does not take a direct personal object in this way (we cannot say said me). Furthermore, the word "that" is optional in reported speech, and the past simple tense ("left") correctly backshifts to the past perfect ("had left").
