1…The parcel was returned back to the sender
2…I left home at 1/4 to 7
3…The girl said that she done it herself
hi Ganesh,
as for number 1 I’d say it should read : the parcel was returned to the sender. omitting the back
as for number 2 I think it’s very special I don’t dare give advice
as for number 3 the girl said she did it [color=brown](past tense) herself or she have/had done it [color=brown](present perfect/past perfect) herself.
-
Omit “back” from the first because it’s redundant.
-
This really should be written out as “I left home at a quarter to 7.” This means 6:45. Fifteen minutes is one quarter of an hour. “Quarter to” or “quarter after” generally don’t occur in writing.
-
It all depends on the context.
The girl said she did it herself. - This is quite likely in response to a question as to whether the girl did a specific act herself.
The girl said she has done it herself. - Not necessarily this time, but she has done this specific act herself before.
The girl said she had done it herself. - This is likely to occur if you’re telling someone else after the event is over. I’m telling you a story about the girl. “He didn’t believe she did it, so I asked. And the girl said she had done it herself.”
The girl said that she did it herself
or
The girl said that she had done it herself.
