							|  I would rather not answer this. He said that he would rather not answer this. You �d better not ask me again.   He said that I �d better not ask him again.   There �s not a problem with them in reported speech. You �re smart to check here, rather than believing what you read without questioning it. There is a lot of bad advice floating around.   Bruce  |  19 May 2015
