The part of the sentence in red is called a reporting clause whereas the part of the sentence in black is called a reported clause( direct speech).
Is the above statement about the clause correct?
2. Jancy saidthat she had been ill for a week.
After converting the above sentence into a indirect speech, the part of the sentence in red is still a reporting clause and the part of the sentence in black is reported clause.
Is the above statement(#2) about the clause correct?
What do we call the sentence #2 considering as a whole rather than defining it into parts?
Thanks.
