Specific Cases
When we report a sentence that has a specific function (inviting, apologising, making a
request, etc.), it is better to use a specific verb.
e.g.
e.g.
8. She said to them, “Would you like to join me for a walk?” (an
invitation)
10. Jane said to Paul, “Could you turn the T.V. down please?” (a request)
