There are several reporting verbs we can use:
➙ The most commonly

used one is to say. She said she was studying.
➙ When the person who we are talking to is referred, we can use to tell. You told me you liked your new dress.
➙ We may report something that was said without keeping to the original words, the reporting verb itself may contain that idea or intention. The verbs here can be: to admit, to advise, to agree, to remind, to suggest, to encourage, to insist, to persuade, to warn, to refuse, to urge, among others. - I admit it, I did it!
