This document discusses the different types of reported sentences: statements, questions, and commands. For statements, it provides examples of how the reported version changes the tense or words like yesterday to the day before. For questions, it explains that yes/no questions and wh- questions are reported using "ask" followed by if for yes/no or the wh- word for wh- questions. Commands are reported using "ask" or "tell" followed by an infinitive clause. It also lists common reporting verbs used to report what someone said or did, like apologize, claim, advise, etc. and whether they take an infinitive clause or -ing form.
