Hey Guys
Again here with no videos. This topics of Problem verbs I think it would be better like this.
So, moving on with the Problem Verbs, today we have Say x Tell
To Tell/Told
Well, first of all to tell is used to give information and instructions
Ex: He told me what time it is
I told my name to the manager
And also it´s required an pronoun or the name of the person.
Ex: She told me what happened to our friends
My mother is telling Bob to clean his bedroom
To Say/ Said
The verb to say you point out to whom the message is been said after to:
Ex: My friend said to me he´s going home
What did you say to them?
Also when there is no to whom is been talked:
Ex: He said something funny last week
"I was here before", he said
It´s used to signs and labels:
Look at the sign, it says "restrict area"
to Say/ to Tell + that:
After those verbs the used of that is yours guys. If you prefer you can use, if not just omit it.
Here there are some exercises for you guys, do them and improve your skills
