About This Resource
This C1 resource develops precise use of reporting verbs by connecting stance and source meaning with the grammatical pattern each verb licenses. It examines that-clauses, -ing clauses, infinitive patterns, object complements, and related structures so that reporting choices are both semantically and syntactically accurate.
What You’ll Learn
• Choose reporting verbs that express an appropriate stance toward the source or proposition.
• Match each reporting verb with a grammatical complement pattern it licenses.
• Distinguish patterns such as that-clauses, -ing clauses, infinitives, and object structures.
• Revise reporting structures when the intended stance and grammatical frame do not align.
