    2 Reporting verbs

    1 We use different reporting verbs such as suggest, remind, encourage, etc. to give
    more detail about the purpose or attitude of what someone said.

    Go on, have a go. I’m sure 1 I encouraged him to have a go.


    you’ll really love the game! I thought he’d really love it.

    2 Different reporting verbs are followed by different structures. Many reporting


    verbs are followed by verb + (that) + clause, or verb + person + (that) + clause.

    It’s not fair! We won’t have enough 1 He complained (that) they wouldn’t have enough
    time to see the whole film! time to see the whole film.

    Don’t forget you need to phone 2 He reminded me (that) I needed to phone Tim
    Tim before you go out! before I went out.

    2 When we use a reporting verb and a (that) clause, we generally change the verb
    tense back one tense.
