The Difference between Tell, Say, Speak and Talk
SAY v TELL
We “say“ something and we “tell“ someone. The verb you need depends on what follows the verb.
TELL someone (e.g. you, me, Pete...)
Examples:
1. I’ve already TOLD YOU the answer three times.
2. My Students TELL ME that they love Youtube channel.
3. Katie TOLD PETER that she wanted to eat out.
SAY something (e.g. hello, happy birthday, it’s not fair)
Examples:
1. Joe SAID he was coming to the party.
2. If you see Jill, SAY hello from me.
3. Rob SAID it wasn’t fair and left the meeting.
SPEAK v TALK
Speak and Talk are very similar. Firstly, we “speak“ a language (we don’t “talk“ a language“). Secondly, “speak“ has a more formal and serious tone, and is also used for one-way communication, whereas “talk“ is used for two-way conversation.
Examples:
1. I am SPEAKING to you now (you’re not answering, so it’s one-way communication)
2. English is my mother tongue, but I also SPEAK French, Spanish, and some Italian.
3. If you are ever in the Chicago area, call me and we can meet for a coffee and we can TALK about life.
