Reported speech
We use reproted, or indirect , speech when we want to repeat what someone said previously
Oh no! I couldn't hear her. What did she sey?
In reported statements, we can use either 'say' or 'tell'. The meaning is the same, but the grammar is different. For example:Direct speech: John: "I'll be late". Reported speech: John said (that) he would be late. John told me (that) he was going to be late. With 'tell' we NEED the object (e.g. 'me', 'you', 'her'). With 'say' we CAN'T use the object (e.g. 'me', 'them', 'us').
