How do you form and use reported intentions and plans in grammar syntax?

To form and use reported intentions and plans in grammar syntax, we typically use reporting verbs such as "plan," "intend," "decide," or "hope." When reporting someone's intention or plan, we need to make certain changes to the verb tense and pronouns.

To form reported intentions and plans, we generally follow these steps:

1. Begin the reported sentence with a reporting verb such as "He said," "She told me," or "They mentioned."
2. Use the reporting verb in the past tense.
3. Change the pronouns to match the subject of the reported sentence.
4. Adjust the verb tense according to the original intention or plan.

For example, let's say someone said, "I plan to travel to Europe next summer." To report this intention, we would say:

He said that he planned to travel to Europe next summer.

In this example, "I" changes to "he" as we report the intention, and "plan" changes to "planned" to match the past tense of the reporting verb.

Similarly, if someone said, "We intend to start a new business," the reported sentence would be:

They mentioned that they intended to start a new business.

Here, "we" changes to "they," and "intend" changes to "intended" to match the past tense of the reporting verb.

In summary, to form and use reported intentions and plans, we use reporting verbs in the past tense, adjust pronouns, and modify verb tenses accordingly.
