Many learners confuse “say” and “tell.” Let’s make it simple 👇
🔹 Use “Say”
We use say when we focus on the words.
- She said, “I am tired.”
- He said sorry.
- What did you say?
🔹 Use “Tell”
We use tell when we mention the person receiving the message.
- She told me the truth.
- He told her a story.
- Please tell me your name.
