And they can often become confused. I often hear: "Said me" or "Say me" which is incorrect. So let's try to clear it up. Let's take the word tell. Tell them in the past format told. When we're using tell or told we use it with the direct personal object only. He told me, he will tell you, he will tell his mother. Tell someone something. Okay. And when we use say or it's past format said. We can use it in two ways: we can use it with the direct personal object but when we do that it can only be with the word TO - he said to me, he said to you, he will say to his mother. The direct personal object or without it and just say: he said that. Ok ay. So say said tell told.
