Can someone explain to me, plz? this is a reported speech
"You've broken my radio, Frank!" - said Jane
-> Jane accused.........her radio.
My answer is: Jane accused Frank of breaking her radio.
But I quitely hesitate,do we use "Jane accused Frank of breaking her radio" or "....of having broken her radio"?
When we use "of+ V-ing" and "of having + P.P"?
