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

Future simple

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

Modal verbs - A2

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
