Differences between

speak/talk/say/tell

Say

She said “It is a nice day.”

I said “Don’t do that.”

间接引用：

They said they wouldn’t do it again.

She said she would go to town.

Say你不能直接在后面使用宾语。您需要在添加宾语之前添加宾语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. Tell直接使用宾语：

2. Tell somebody to do something，用于传递指令：

Speak用于表达一般谈话(不包括谈话细节)，通常用于更正式的表达，speak后面可以加宾语也可以不加宾语：

Can I speak to you?

Who are you speaking to?

Speak也用于表达语言能力：

I speak English well.

Do you speak Japanese?

She speaks Italian.

I can speak four languages.

Talk

I talk –She/He/It talks –They/We talk

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

Talk和speak没有明显的区别，只是和，speak相比，talk没那么正式。

Shall we talk to them?

Who is she talking to?

注：另一个表达说的词汇chat”和“talk用法最接近，chat相较于talk比较随意，可以和talk互相更换：

Can we chat for a bit?

I chatted to her yesterday.

Did you chat to him?

四个说各尽其责，孩子在使用时要注意区分哦~
