Answer 1

A frase deve ser colocada no ''Indirect Speech'', portanto deve ser escrita conforme segue: I suggested Mary should change the way she treated her staff.

Reported Speech ou Indirect Speech

É quando repetimos, com as nossas palavras, o que outra pessoa falou. Normalmente, ligamos as duas frases com ''that''. Em alguns casos, não há a necessidade. Veja os exemplos abaixo:

• Tommy said: ''I am tired''.  -  direct speech
  Tommy said (that) he was tired. - reported speech
• My mother said: ''I will cook dinner.''. - direct speech
  My mother said (that) she would cook dinner. - reported speech

Observação: No ''reported speech'' há mudança de tempo verbal e, em alguns casos, a mudança do verbo.

Exemplo:  I think - I suggested

                 need  -  should
