Reporting Verbs exercises online (Multiple Choice)

Beyond say and tell, English has many reporting verbs — each with its own grammatical pattern. Some take 'to + infinitive' (agree to do, refuse to do), some take '-ing' (admit doing, deny doing), some take 'that' clauses (explain that, claim that), and some require a preposition before '-ing' (apologize for doing, insist on doing). Learn to match each verb to its correct structure.
