Hello!
I find in a grammar book an activity for reported speech which consists in spotting a mistake in a sentence and proposing the correct version of it. The sentence in question is:
"Our teacher said to us that the test was quite easy." The key shows as the right answer: "Our teacher told us that the test was quite easy."
I don't quite understand why "said to us" is wrong. Could you help me with this?
Thanks and best regards.
