Reported speech

Transforme fala direta em indireta ajustando tempo verbal, pronomes e marcadores.

4. Statements, Questions e Commands

Statements (afirmações)

Verbos introdutórios: say, tell, mention, explain, add, state, admit, claim, deny, promise, warn
Estrutura: say + (that) + clause / tell + person + (that) + clause

⚠️ Importante: "say" não precisa de objeto; "tell" SEMPRE precisa: "She told me" (nunca "She told that...")
