Would in backshift

Hi,

Would you tell me how sentences like below will be converted into the past tense?

I am thinking what I would do if I won a million dollars.

I was thinking what --.



I have no idea what it would be like to own my private jet.

I had no idea what --.



Thank you,

m

Hi. You've already done it! The rest of the sentence stays exactly the same.

I would make no change other than "was" and "had."

(sorry, clod, I didn't see your post)
