First we remember what are the reporting verbs:
- Reported verbs are verbs that we use in reported speech
- The most common are say and tell
- Tell and make more efficient the communication.
We try to gave a formula but it was difficult and we did examples with some verbs instead.
Encouraged (To motivate)
Jack encouraged me to look for a new job.
Argue ( To debate)
She argued that she was correct
Apologize (To say sorry)
He apologized for being late.
And we talked about the verbs deny, think, admit and refuse
Deny is to say no but in special situation like "No I didn't do it" or "No I don't have it"
Refuse is no thank you, is reject an offer
Think is having an opinion
Admit is I did it or I have it
