speak, talk, say和tell都能够用来表示“说”、“讲”这一动作
那么，这四个词汇之间的区别是什么呢？各自的常用搭配又有哪些呢？
快来和王老师一起看一看吧！
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
我们使用say来进行直接引用或间接引用。直接引用是指通过引号（“”）来直接准确地表达某人所说的话。间接引用指的是转述某人所说的话的大概意思。
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.
Say的后面不可以直接使用宾语，需要再宾语前加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. Tell后面直接使用宾语：
Can you tell me?
You should never tell a lie.
The boy told us he didn’t want any money.
2. Tell somebody to do something，用来发出指令：
I told you to clean your room.
He told her not togo.
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用来表示一般的谈话（不含谈话细节），通常用于比较正式的表达，speak后面可以加宾语也可以不加宾语：
I want to speak.
Can I speak to you?
Who are you speaking to?
Speak也用来表达语言能力：
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没有太明显的区别，只不过和speak相比，talk不那么正式。
I’d like to talk with you.
Shall we talk to them?
Who is she talking to?
注：另外一个表达“说”的词汇“chat”和“talk”的用法最为接近，chat相较于talk更为随意，可以与talk互相替换：
Can we chat for a bit?
I chatted to her yesterday.
Did you chat to him?
四个“说”各司其职，小朋友们在使用时要注意区分哦~
