'We told you the salary details,' they said to him.
They claimed ____
Slide 5 - Open question
Why not told
Het citaat geeft al aan de salarisinfo in het verleden was verteld. Als je dan reported speech gebruikt, moet die grammaticale tijd eentje verder het verleden in, om aan te duiden dat de ene actie verder in het verleden plaatsvindt dan de andere.

Verb + preposition + -ing form
'I'll tell the boss!' Bill said.
