Click an already-selected object with the select pointer to place it in rotate/skew mode. Rotate/skew selection is indicated by the appearance of special rotate and skew handles.
Double-click an object with the select pointer to place it in reshape mode. Different types of objects have different reshaping indicators.
To be certain that you are in the correct mode, check the status bar. If the object is selected for Rotate/Skew, the status bar shows Rotate and Skew Mode. If the object is selected for reshaping, the status bar shows the reshape mode.
