Mary says, " I'll wait until you make your decision."
Which would John say?
A) "She said she'd wait until I make my decision."
B) "She said she'd wait until I made my decision."
If they are both OK, is there any difference? Thank you in advance.

I think John would say (A) if he has not yet made the decision, (B) if he is talking about the past and the decision was made some time ago.– Kate BuntingJun 13, 2021 at 7:24

3Does this answer your question? "until something" in reported speech. Also tenses/ backshifting died/dies and probably others.– FumbleFingersJun 13, 2021 at 15:29
