My version of the translation was "She told me five days have passed since she arrived at the ..(bla bla bla not important) "
My teacher told me that this is incorrect and the correct version is "She told me it has been five days since she arrived at the ...(bla bla bla not important)
Is anything wrong with my version ? I mean don't both sentences say exactly the same thing?
