  • Hi there. Welcome to Harry's World of Words and Phrases and English in a

  • Minute. We're now going to look at the words say

  • and tell. And they can often become confused. I often hear: "Said me" or "Say me"

  • which is incorrect. So let's try to clear it up. Let's take the word tell. Tell them in

  • the past format told. When we're using tell or told we use it with the direct

  • personal object only. He told me, he will tell you, he will tell his mother. Tell

  • someone something. Okay. And when we use say or it's past format said. We can use it

  • in two ways: we can use it with the direct personal object but when we do

  • that it can only be with the word TO - he said to me, he said to you, he will say to

  • his mother. The direct personal object or without it and just say: he said that.

  • Ok ay. So say said tell told. Remember subscribe to our channel and join us on

  • www.englishlessonviaskype.com and we'll catch up soon.
