Hello everyone!
2
Welcome back to Maria Daily English.
3
I'm so happy you're here with us today.
4
Hey there!
5
Great to see you all again.
6
Today we're fixing one of the most common mistakes in English,
7
mixing up, say, and tell.
8
Yes.
9
Many learners use them interchangeably,
10
but there is one simple rule that makes it easy to remember.
11
What is the rule, Maria?
12
The golden rule is, a tell usually needs a person, an object.
13
Say he does not need a person.
14
Let's break it down.
15
So, if I mention who I am talking to, I use tell?
16
Exactly.
17
Structure, tell plus person plus information.
18
Example, a tell me the truth.
19
Tell him to come back.
20
She told us a story.
21
And if I don't mention the person, I use say.
22
Correct.
23
Structure.
24
Say plus information.
25
Example.
26
As she said hello.
27
He said he was tired.
28
They said yes.
29
But what if I want to mention the person with say?
30
Good question.
31
If you use a say here with a person,
32
you must use a to.
33
Example.
34
Is she said to me that she was busy?
35
Not he, she said me.
36
R. So, tell me, no, to,
37
vs. say to me with, to.
38
That's the key difference.
39
Perfect.
40
Perfect.
41
Now, let's look at fixed expressions.
42
Some phrases always use a tell,
43
even without a person mentioned immediately.
44
Like, a tell the truth,
45
a tell a lie, a tell a story, a tell the time.
46
And for say, we have,
47
say hello, say goodbye, say yes, say no, say sorry.
48
Exactly.
49
These are fixed.
50
You don't a tell hello,
51
ee, or a say the truth.
52
It's always a say hello ear and a tell the truth.
53
Let's test this.
54
I'll make sentences and you correct me if I'm wrong.
55
Sentence 1.
56
He said me that he liked pizza.
57
Wrong.
58
You mentioned the person ear me ee.
59
So you must use a tell.
60
Correct.
61
He told me that he liked pizza.
62
Or, if you keep he said,
63
he said to me that he liked pizza.
64
Got it.
65
Sentence 2, can you tell the time?
66
Correct.
67
Tell the time ee is a fixed expression.
68
Sentence 3, she said goodbye to her friends.
69
Perfect.
70
Say goodbye ee is fixed.
71
And ee to her friends ee uses ee toe correctly.
72
Sentence 4, I told that I was hungry.
73
Incorrect.
74
You didn't mention a person.
75
So you says a.
76
Correct.
77

78
If you want to use a tell, ear at a person.
79

80

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
