- You said that boys were easier to bring up than girls.
2. You said that a woman's place was in the home.
Here you are! Since the word "that" connects "You said" to the statement, there is no need to put the statement in quotes. Remember that the easiest way to make a sentence is to identify the primary verb or verbs first, then find the noun that is the subject of the sentence.
