Grammar explanation

When we tell someone what another person said, we often use the verbs say, tell or ask. These are called 'reporting verbs'. However, we can also use other reporting verbs. Many reporting verbs can be followed by another verb in either an infinitive or an -ing form.

Reporting verb + infinitive

'Let's see. I'll have the risotto, please.''I'll do the report by Friday, for sure.''It's not a good idea to write your passwords down.'

We can also use an infinitive to report imperatives, with a reporting verb like tell, order, instruct, direct or warn.

Reporting verb + -ing form

Verbs like admit, apologise for, complain about, deny, insist on, mention and suggest can follow an -ing form pattern.

'I broke the window.''I'm really sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.''Let's take a break.'
