How to form an indirect statement?

REMEMBER: ACC + INF is always the key.
Verb of "saying" + acc. in the indirect statement + infinitive.
E.g. servus dixit equum malum esse. The slave said that the horse was bad.
When keeping the same subject in the indirect statement, you need to use a pronoun to refer back to the speaker.
E.g. magister clamit se in villa celere. The master is shouting that he is hiding in the house.
