  40. She told me, “I won’t do it.”
  41.  
  42. To approximate what someone said without worrying about the exact words: quoted with ‘[be] + like’
  43. She was like, “I’m not gonna do that.” (informal)
  44. ---
  45. Better example:
  46.  
  47. She said, “I know I’ve filed these for you before, but it’s really not part of my job duties and I’m very busy today.”
  48. (These were her exact words.)

  50.  
  51. She was like, “Done filing your paperwork, not my department, do it yourself.”
  52. (These were not her words, but this was her tone and meaning. This is called quotative “like”.)
  53.  
  54. She was all, “Shyeah, no.”
  55. (This is a very loose impression of her tone, or an exaggeration of what she said.)

  58. ---
