Said VS Told: The Difference Between Say VS Tell in English Grammar + Quiz

Описание: What's the difference between SAID VS TOLD in English grammar? Can you use say and tell interchangeably? The answer is NO! These are two commonly confused words for English learners. In this ESL lesson, we'll learn the difference between "say" and "told." Understanding when to use each verb correctly is essential for effective communication in English.

Say: We use "say" or "said" when reporting words, thoughts, or information without mentioning the listener. It's like sharing information without specifying who we're talking to.
• Example: She said, "I like rock music." (We know she expressed her liking for rock music, but we don't know who she said it to.)

Told: On the other hand, we use "told" when we report words, thoughts, or information to someone specific. It's like directly speaking to a particular person.
• Example: Jason told me, "I broke up with my girlfriend." (Jason communicated this message directly to "me.")

Throughout the video, I'll provide more examples and explanations, so you can confidently use "said" and "told" in different tenses and situations. At the end of this lesson, there will be a 10-question quiz to test your knowledge on said VS told.
