Is there any difference between "tell" & "say"?

look it up

The word tell NEEDS to have the name of a person or a personal pronoun after it like me, her, you etc.

Eg: I tell you, it's the truth! You told me he was asleep! I told her about you.

The word say is more general but both words still need to be referring to an idea or phrase that is being talked about.

Eg: I said it was silly. You say you're here? She said it was a secret.

Bothh of these words are slightly different to the word talk, because it does not need to have a specific idea that is being communicated, it can refer to general communication about many, any, or no topics.

Good luck!

"Tell" indicates that there is a specific audience who is being spoken to. It also indicates that the speaker is in a position of some sort of authority in the conversation.

"Say" only means words came out of your mouth.

Tenses.

Yes. Just because you say something, doesn't mean you're telling someone anything.

Please tell me what your name is.

Can you say it again?

He told me his name.

He said he name is Robert!
