I have been talking about how we can report what someone else says. But, when we do this, we could fall into several vices. For example: use all the time the verb "said". It is the most common verb in the reported speech, nevertheless, there are many verbs we can use to report. There are rules for the use of each of these. You can see them in this link.
As you can appreciate, it is a very long list. So, if you use some of this verbs, you will show a better managment og your vocabulary in English and you will report in a clearer way what other people say. So be encouraged to use verbs like: admit, comment, confirm, persuade, promise, recommend, describe, etc.
Do you like this other way to reporting?
