reporting verbs


When we tell someone what another person said, we often use the verbs say, tell or ask. These are called 'reporting verbs'.

However, we can also use other reporting verbs such as advise, suggest or deny among others.

Many reporting verbs are followed by another verb in either an infinitive or an -ing form.!


tips!

must→ had to. next day→ following day(s).

(suggest me to do ❌ suggested that✅) only when you know who you are talking to! suggested doing = you dont know who received the suggestion
