內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

“Say” 和 “tell” 都有 “說(shuō)” 的意思。雖然它們都可以用來(lái)引導(dǎo)說(shuō)話的內(nèi)容，但用法卻不同。“Say” 的后面可以直接加說(shuō)話的具體內(nèi)容或經(jīng)過(guò)轉(zhuǎn)述的內(nèi)容；“tell” 的后面可以直接加人稱(chēng)代詞的賓格，再接說(shuō)話的內(nèi)容?？匆曨l，學(xué)習(xí)如何正確使用這對(duì)近義詞。

文字稿

Hi, I'm Sian, and I have something to say about the verbs say and tell. 

With tell, we usually say who is spoken to. So, we use tell with a direct personal object, like 'you', 'him', 'her'.

"I love English grammar!" Phil told me that he loves English grammar. So, remember to include who is spoken to. 

So, don't say 'Phil told I love English grammar.' Say 'Phil told me...' or 'Phil told us that he loves English grammar.'

With the verb say, we don't normally include who is spoken to. We say something.

And you could also use the direct words someone says."I love teaching English." Phil said "I love teaching English".

So, remember, in general, we tell someone something, but we say something. 

用法總結(jié)

1. 動(dòng)詞 “say” 的意思是 “說(shuō)，講”，過(guò)去式是 “said”?！癝ay” 的后面通常不加人稱(chēng)代詞，直接加某人的說(shuō)話內(nèi)容或經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)述的內(nèi)容，即直接引語(yǔ)或間接引語(yǔ)。注意，如果 “say” 后面跟直接引語(yǔ)，需要使用引號(hào)標(biāo)注引語(yǔ)部分。

say + (that) 講話內(nèi)容

• Phil said "I love teaching English".
• Phil said he loves teaching English.

2. 動(dòng)詞 “tell” 的意思是 “告訴，說(shuō)”，過(guò)去式是 “told”?！癟ell” 的后面加告知對(duì)象的人稱(chēng)代詞賓格，如 “me”、“us”、“him” 或 “her”。這些人稱(chēng)代詞在句子中作 “tell” 的間接賓語(yǔ)。

tell + 人稱(chēng)代詞賓格 + (that) 講話內(nèi)容

• Phil told me that he loves English grammar.
• Tell her the truth.
