Różnice, pomiędzy say oraz tell.
Oba te słówka to tzw
Reporting Verbs.
Tell używamy w odniesieniu do faktów i przekazywanych informacji, natomiast
say np. przy powitaniach i pożegnaniach. Kiedy wymieniamy zarówno osobę mówiącą jak i adresata wypowiedzi, przeważnie używamy
tell. W takim przypadku można użyć również
say jednak jest to rzadko spotykane i wymaga użycia słówka
to po
say.
