Yes, it's me again!Stick out tongue [:P]

What does "reporting verb" mean? There is an exercise which says that I have to use reporting verbs to rewrite the sentences and I don't know how to do itStick out tongue [:P].

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Marius,

So, are the ones you use when you write a discursive composition?
What about "It is said", ""Some believe that"...? Are they reporting verbs too?

Thanks in advance!Big Smile [:D]
