Say vs Tell | Speak vs Talk: Understand Confusing English Verbs

Показать описание

Say vs tell and speak vs talk — what is the difference between these verbs and how can you use them correctly every time?

These confusing verb pairs frustrate my students. The meanings of say vs tell and speak vs talk are quite similar BUT there are important distinctions. And the grammatical structure of the sentence differs as well.

This Confident English lesson provides a complete explanation of say, tell, speak, talk so you can avoid common mistakes, and stop feeling frustrated.

Along the way, I have pop quizzes for you and a final quiz to make sure you’ve got the say, tell, talk, speak distinctions right.

I am a native speaker, born and raised in the U.S.A., but I must say I learn a little something from each video on this channel, so I tell all my friends and my overseas colleagues when I speak with them, in fact, I talk to nearly everyone about the lovely Annemarie, while singing her praises. When she speaks her words float and flutter like butterflies over an ocean of deep green grass on a late summer's afternoon. I could listen forever...😉💖

Here, José Válter, from Campinas, Brazil. I like your videos, and try to follow your lessons, despite I've read that your learning community is "for women"... It's a while that I had doughts about these topics. Thank you very much. I appreciate it, Annemarie!
