Say or Tell? Basic English Grammar

[@Ari3870]

Hi Jennifer! Thanks! I got 5/5 on the quiz. Examples: 1) Why are you so quiet? Has the cat got your tongue? Say something. 2) He lets his imagination run wild and is prone to exaggeration. He loves telling us tall tales about pretty much everything under the sun.

[@JForrestEnglish]

You got it!

Glad you think so!

[@fredylopez2477]

Jennifer first of all I' m glad to have met you in the distance and I think I' m gonna learn a lot about english with you and to start with, I' ve got a doubt What about if I said " I wanna tell you the truth " but instead of this sentence I say, using the pronoun " I wanna tell it to you " we already know that we're talking about the truth. Please, Jennifer, if I'm wrong, let me know, thanks in advance.

[@JForrestEnglish]

If it's obvious you're talking about the truth, you can replace it with a pronoun.

[@fredylopez2477]

@@JForrestEnglish ok thank you Jennifer, now I don't have any doubt about it and I know It's obvious but I said to myself, just in case I'm gonna ask her because It doesn't hurt to ask and besides I'll be sure of that fact, thanks I'll be consulting you when I have another doubt, bye.

[@paulcuellar8171]

I didn't know the differences between this words at all, so I used to be guided by the sense of the sentences; I make a sentence on my mind using both words (say & tell), I identify which one has sense, then I speak out loud.😁

[@JForrestEnglish]

Haha, that's a great approach! As long as it works for you 😉

[@marygoldfatema8139]

Hello Jennifer ! So no problem with the quiz , I've got all the sentences . And here are my examples : ☆ She said that she can not come to work because of her illness . ☆ She must tell the truth if she wants to gain the trust of the others .

I am telling the truth! What did you say? Did you tell your boss about it? My grandmother loves telling stories . Like my late mother ,she used to read us stories as well. I am so thankful for my share to have such a wonderful mother in my life! She said she'd be late again! My boss told mero stay late. My boss said to me to stay late. When I was a young boy, the girls used to call me, story teller. The good old days, I fell in love with everyone of them. I miss it very badly!
