There are two overlapping points at A2 in the English Grammar Profile for reporting verbs.
Point 2 in the category of REPORTED SPEECH is defined as:
reporting clause with ‘tell’ + direct object + ‘that-‘clause, with a pronoun shift where relevant.
Point 12 in VERBS and patterns is defined as:
Verbs, typically reporting verbs, followed by a noun or pronoun as the indirect object and a clause with or without ‘that’, as the direct object.
Both examples contain ‘told’ as the reporting verb. One also contained ‘promised’.
When searching for a general pattern it was very clear ‘told’ is the most common verb here. In the top 100 there were only a couple of other clusters such as:
78 PROMISED MYSELF I WOULD 458
80 ASSURED ME IT WAS 455
And both of these contain vocabulary higher than A2.
