THE REPORTER SAID

Today, in my english course, I practiced some grammar about how to convey a message, specifically indirect speech.

I understood that when you use 'say', the person that gets the message is not mentioned, that is and for example: He said to read a water report.

The other case is with the word 'tell', and you may use this word when the person that gets the message is mentioned, for example: He told them to read a water report.

Finally, the negative form is without auxiliar, for example: She said not to go out tomorrow.
