Hello everyone!

Welcome back to Maria Daily English.

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.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
大家好！在学习英语时，掌握日常对话中的常用词汇和语法是非常重要的。今天的视频重点在于“say”和“tell”的使用，帮助你避免在口语交流中出现的常见错误。能够正确使用这些词，可以让你在与他人交流时显得更加流利和自信。通过反复练习，你可以提高英语发音，逐渐进入“shadow speech”的层次，进而实现自然流畅的对话形式。
语法与表达的语境
在视频中，几种关键结构的使用非常值得注意：
- Tell + 人 + 信息：例如，“Tell me the truth.” 这里需要明确提及听话的人。
- Say + 信息：例如，“She said hello.” 在没有涉及特定对象时只需表达信息。
- 若想要在 say 的结构中提到对象，需要使用 to：“She said to me that she was busy.” 这里的 to 使句子更加完整。
- 某些固定表达始终使用 tell，例如 “tell a lie”, “tell a story”。
- 而对于 say，常见的固定搭配有 “say goodbye” 和 “say yes”。
常见的发音陷阱
在学习“say”和“tell”时，您可能会遇到一些发音上的困难。例如，“tell”的发音要清晰，注意不让“l”的音消失。此外，在使用“said”时，可能有些学习者会把它发成“sayed”，所以要准确掌握音节的发音。掌握这些发音技巧将大大促进你的口语流利程度，最终帮助你掌握 shadow speaks 的技巧，提高英语发音。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
