    Hi TFers,

    a very small question to ask. In this lesson, Koichi says not to use ましょう + と言った, but the given example is a verbatim quote?

    かれは「先生になりましょう」と言った

    Is there a mistake or can’t I quote someone saying “Let’s …”?

    Yeah, you can say that – it’s a direct quote. I’ve never been able to figure out how to tell the difference between direct and indirect quotes in spoken language, though…

    Which lesson is that from?

    Thank you, Joel.

    It is from 6-6-4.
