reported/direct speech

[Marionetta]

Hello,

please could you help me with the following sentences (words in italics)

John said he had often wanted to drive his parents´ car and had expected to be easy.
(but he had an accident last night)
J: "I have/had often wanted to drive my parents´car and expected it to be easy" - is it considered a completed time period in the past or not (as it was finished by the accident)?

He asked whether he would be sent to prison for what he had done.
J: "Will I be sent to prison for what I did/have done?" again, is it the past simple or present perfect (last night vs. a consequence in the present)?

thank you very much

J: "I have/had often wanted to drive my parents´car and expected it to be easy" - is it considered a completed time period in the past or not (as it was finished by the accident)?-- When did he say this, before or after the accident?


He asked whether he would be sent to prison for what he had done.
J: "Will I be sent to prison for what I did/have done?" again, is it the past simple or present perfect (last night vs. a consequence in the present)?-- Either form is possible.
