Beyond the basic verbs say, tell, and ask, English uses many reporting verbs — also called introductory verbs — that convey the speaker's exact intention: promise, warn, suggest, refuse, apologize, and more. Each reporting verb carries a specific meaning and requires a specific grammatical pattern (verb + to-infinitive, verb + -ing, or verb + that clause). Read the direct speech and choose the most appropriate reporting verb and structure.
