Reported speech statements

Reported speech

Use

Függő beszédet pedig akkor használunk, amikor nem direkt idézzük valakinek a szavait, hanem egy bevezető ige segítségével mi (vagy valaki más) elmondjuk, hogy valaki más mit mond, vagy mit mondott.

Reported speech is used when we talk about what a person or persons say or said.
