[Korean Grammar] Reporting Speech, Indirect Quatations : The Ultimate Guide 1

---

WELCOME TO KOREAN SOONA STUDY LAB!

Have you ever struggled to tell a friend what someone else said? In Korean, "reporting speech" or "indirect quotations" (간접 인용) is one of the most important—yet challenging—grammar points for intermediate learners. You can't just repeat the sentence; you have to change the verb ending based on the original intent (statement, question, suggestion, or command) and the tense.

In this interactive Masterclass, you will learn :

• STATEMENTS (-다고 하다): Reporting facts and opinions.

• QUESTIONS (-냐고 하다): Reporting what someone asked.

• SUGGESTIONS (-자고 하다): Reporting joint proposals ("Let's...").

• COMMANDS (-(으)라고 하다): Reporting instructions or strong requests.

How to use this interactive lab: 

We have provided comprehensive conjugation tables and 5 full examples for each category. Click the text boxes to hear perfect native pronunciation and check your understanding with the practice questions at the end!
