Reporting statements, questions, and imperative sentences 1.

we use noun clauses introduced by that to report statements.

e.g. He said, 'The ad does not tell you the complete truth.'

He reminded us that the ad did not tell us the complete truth.

e.g.He said, 'Not all ads play tricks on us though. '

He explained that not all ads play tricks on us.

2. Besides say, ask and tell, there are other reporting verbs: accept, argue,

believe, claim, decide, expect, feel, imagine, learn, mention, point out, suppose, think, understand, wonder, etc.

3.

we use noun clauses introduced by whether/if to report yes/no questions, and we use noun clauses introduced by wh-words to report wh-questions.

e.g. ‘Are all advertisements playing tricks on us?’ I asked her.

 I asked her whether/if all advertisements playing tricks on us. e.g. The teacher asked Tom ‘What’s the matter?’

 The teacher asked Tom what was the matter. 4.

We use the structure: reporting verb + object + (not) to-infinitive to report imperative sentences. Ask and tell are common reporting words. 1

e.g. ‘Don’t touch anything in the lab without permission.’ said the teacher.

 The teacher told us not to touch anything in the lab without permission. e.g. ‘Turn down the radio please, Tom.’ Jen said.
