  • @fortefortethaise
    @fortefortethaise 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello Alex, I've been searching but I still can't understand the difference between: SAID TO x TOLD. For example, should I say: he said to me or he told me?

    • @Dowiita
      @Dowiita 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thaise Forte She/He told me to..
      You use "told" when that person speaks to you specific, like "my mom told me to clean my room"/ reported: "she told him/her to clean his room". And you use "said" when you hear something, but that message wasnt specific for you.

    @Slegger0404 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    But what about if someone is talking to you and you don't hear them? Wouldn't you say "What did you say" not "What did you told"? They're talking directly to you, but I guess at the same time they're saying something. Is that a special case?

    How can I use word (be) ?

    • @engvidAlex
      @engvidAlex  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can use it as a command...
      Be safe!
      Be careful!
      Don't be mean!
      You can also use it after modal verbs...
      You should be careful.
      I'll be there at 9 o'clock.
      We can be better.
      He might be a pilot when he grows up.
      You have to be more serious!
      I hope this helps. :) Or do you means how to use was/were/is/am/are?

    1."he said him"
    2."he told him"
    in these sentence , none of the information is given to me directly so 1st is correct?

    • @engvidAlex
      @engvidAlex  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Remember, "He said me" is incorrect. In the same way, "He said him" is incorrect. The information in your examples here was still intended FOR someone. ("him") Use "He told him" or "He said to him." The first one is more common.
