Never say never.
—Written by Charles Dickens in 'Pickwick Papers'
'Never Say Never Again' is a name of a James Bond movie of 1980s, but this quote was originally written by the famous author Charles Dickens.
The meaning is simple but powerful: Anything can happen!
To say means to use our words to express yourself out loud.
· Use ‘say’ when you’re quoting someone.
(She said she’s coming to the function)
·
Use ‘tell’ when someone is
being spoken to.
(I told you
that wouldn’t work!)
‘Tell’ should
always be followed by a recipient.
·
Use ‘speak’ or ‘talk’ when
you’re talking about general speech or a more serious conversation.
(I spoke with
your Science Teacher.)
Remember that you say something but you tell someone.
“She said no” and “She told me no”
are both correct ways of saying the same thing.
