The reporting clause indicates the speaker. For example, consider the following:
John said, 'I'm going to the shops.'
In this sentence, the words 'John said' is the reporting clause. 'John' is the subject and the verb 'said' is the reporting verb.
Other simple reporting clauses include: he said, she said, he stated, he declared, he asked, he replied, he ordered, etc.
An adverb may be included within the reporting clause to indicate how the speaker spoke, e.g.
He replied confidently, 'Jimmy Page is the best guitarist in the world.'
I suppose the thing to take out of all this is the variety of different reprting verbs and adverbs that may be used to express to your desired meaning. Best of luck with it all!
