This document summarizes reporting verbs and the clauses that typically follow them. It divides reporting verbs into 6 groups: 1) verbs followed by 'if' or 'whether' + clause, 2) verbs followed by a that-clause, 3) verbs followed by either a that-clause or a to-infinitive, 4) verbs followed by a that-clause containing 'should', 5) verbs followed by a clause starting with a question word, and 6) verbs followed by an object + to-infinitive. Examples of reporting verbs are provided for each group. The summary is adapted from the listed website.
