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
EI said that I was hungry.
78
If you want to use a tell, ear at a person.
79
EI told him that I was hungry.
80

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
大家好！在學習英語時，掌握日常對話中的常用詞彙和語法是非常重要的。今天的影片重點在於“say”和“tell”的使用，幫助你避免在口語交流中出現的常見錯誤。能夠正確使用這些詞，可以讓你在與他人交流時顯得更加流利和自信。通過反覆練習，你可以提高英語發音，逐漸進入“shadow speech”的層次，進而實現自然流暢的對話形式。
語法與表達的語境
在影片中，幾種關鍵結構的使用非常值得注意：
- Tell + 人 + 資訊：例如，“Tell me the truth.” 這裡需要明確提及聽話的人。
- Say + 資訊：例如，“She said hello.” 在沒有涉及特定物件時只需表達資訊。
- 若想要在 say 的結構中提到物件，需要使用 to：“She said to me that she was busy.” 這裡的 to 使句子更加完整。
- 某些固定表達始終使用 tell，例如 “tell a lie”, “tell a story”。
- 而對於 say，常見的固定搭配有 “say goodbye” 和 “say yes”。
常見的發音陷阱
在學習“say”和“tell”時，您可能會遇到一些發音上的困難。例如，“tell”的發音要清晰，注意不讓“l”的音消失。此外，在使用“said”時，可能有些學習者會把它發成“sayed”，所以要準確掌握音節的發音。掌握這些發音技巧將大大促進你的口語流利程度，最終幫助你掌握 shadow speaks 的技巧，提高英語發音。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | are fixed · is fixed |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | Keep practicing · Keep speaking |
| “will” 表將來 will + 動詞 — 決定、承諾或預測 | I'll make · I'll start · I'll say |
| 現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事 | we're fixing · am talking · is clicking |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
