Thanks, Philip.

If the original sentence is:

Ron: "Carol, you shouldn't exercise so much",

is it also correct to report like this:

"Ron suggested that Carol shouldn't exercise so much"?

Is it better than the other options I gave?

Ron suggested that Carol not exercise so much.
Ron suggested that Carol don't exercise so much.
Ron suggeste
