Reported Speech: Affirmative Sentences.

Hi Teachers,

Do you agree with these explanations? If not, could you correct what it is wrong.




Grammar Notes



To report what someone said in the past we use the verb ‘said’ or ‘told’.



To report affirmative sentences the conjunction ‘that’ introduces the noun clause.



A noun clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb.


Thanks in advance
