Speak, talk, say和tell都可以用来表达“说”和“说”

那么这四个词之间有什么不同呢？

它的常见组合又有哪些？

快来和王老师一起来看看吧！

Differences between

speak/talk/say/tell

Say

I say – He/She/It says – We/They say

I will say – I am saying – I said – I have said

直接引用：

He said “Hello.”

She said “It is a nice day.”

I said “Don’t do that.”

间接引用：

I said it was good.

They said they wouldn’t do it again.

She said she would go to town.

不能直接在Say后面使用宾语，需要在再宾语前添加to：

I said him hello.

I said hello to him.

Tell

I tell – She/He/It tells – They/We tellI will tell

I am telling – I told – I have told

1. 直接在Tell后面使用宾语：

You should never tell a lie.

The boy told us he didn’t want any money.

2. Tell somebody to do something，用于发出指令：

I told you to clean your room.

Did you tell him to do his homework?

Speak

I speak –She/He/It speaks –They/We speak

I will speak –I am speaking –I spoke –I have spoken

Speak用来表达一般的对话(不包括对话的细节)，通常用来更正式的表达。speak后面可以加宾语或者不加宾语:

I want to speak.

Can I speak to you?

Who are you speaking to?

Speak还可以用来表达语言：

I speak English well.

Do you speak Japanese?

She speaks Italian.

Talk

I talk –She/He/It talks –They/We talk

I will talk –I am talking –I talked –I have talked

与speak相比，Talk和speak没有太大区别，但是与speak相比，talk并不那么正式。

I’d like to talk with you.

Shall we talk to them?

注意：另一个表达“说”的词汇chat”和“talk“用法最接近，chat比talk更随意，可与talk相互替换：

Can we chat for a bit?

I chatted to her yesterday.
