speakout unit 2.3 page 26:

• the difference between "say" and "tell"
• what vocabulary do you use when you tell a story to someone? 

say / tell

• both irregular verbs:

• past tense: 
• say - said
• tell - told

most important difference between say / tell:

• SAY = to express something using words 
• What did he say? (Wat heeft hij gezegd?)

• TELL = to give information to a person 
• What did he tell you? (Wat heeft hij jou verteld?)

so...

• When you use TELL, you must have a person following the verb. It could be a name, or just a pronoun, but there must be a person following:

• He told  me  to do it. 

some examples:

• Where are they going? She didn't say.
• Where are they going? She didn't tell me. 

• What did he say?
• What did he tell you?

• I want to say something about that girl.
• I want to tell you something about that girl.

• I said that their new house is beautiful.
• I told them that their new house was beautiful. 

what about these sentences:

• I don't mind telling a white lie.
• I don't mind telling you a white lie.
• the person is not mentioned, but you know it's there!

• You prefer telling the truth. 
• You prefer telling me the truth.
