Reporting verbs

Look at the two pairs of sentences below. What difference does the verb in bold make?

a My dad said we should move there.
My dad suggested that we should move there.

b My mum always said that I didn't know any better.
My mum always insisted that I didn't know any better.

We can often replace say and tell with other verbs that can give us more information about the way somebody said something.

'You should lose a little weight.'
She advised me to lose a little weight.

'I am not going to explain anything.'
He refused to explain anything.

Remember that some verbs are followed by an object, others are followed by a clause beginning with that and others are followed by the infinitive or the -ing form.

Решение 2.

Посмотрите на две пары предложений ниже. Какую разницу вносит выделенный жирным шрифтом глагол?

Ответ:

The verbs in bold provide more specific information about the way something was said, adding nuance to the general verb "said".

Глаголы, выделенные жирным шрифтом, предоставляют более конкретную информацию о том, как что-то было сказано, добавляя нюансы к общему глаголу "said".

a

The verb "suggested" indicates that my dad wasn't just stating a fact, but proposing an idea or making a recommendation.

Глагол "suggested" указывает на то, что мой папа не просто констатировал факт, а предлагал идею или давал рекомендацию.

b

The verb "insisted" implies that my mum said something very firmly, perhaps not accepting any disagreement, showing a strong belief or demand.

Глагол "insisted" подразумевает, что моя мама сказала что-то очень твёрдо, возможно, не принимая никаких возражений, показывая сильное убеждение или требование.
