What’s the difference between SAY and TELL?
Both verbs are used when we share information but the grammar (How we use them) is slightly different. Here is a quick way to understand the difference that I teach all my students.
🟐We SAY something – “Jacob SAID he will be late.”
🟐We TELL someone – “Jacob TOLD me that he will be late.”
Learn the different verb forms with lots of examples.
The verb SAY and the verb TELL each has 6 example sentences using different verb tenses.
Infinitive
Present simple
Present simple Third-person singular
Past simple
Past participle
Continuous tense
