'Said' is usually followed by 'that', and 'told' is usually followed by a pronoun. E.G. "He said that he'd be late" and "He told me about his lack of punctuality" Said is much more common, and can be broadly used. Tell often is relevant to a specific story/recount of another, and tends to imply intent; what is 'told' is done so with the purpose of telling it in mind. Sorry my explanation is a bit vague, it is a bit of a difficult distinction to make. If you need anything cleared up, please ask :)

Excuse me mayby i'l be wrong but don't you study English in India as a second native language?

Can any one say when to use "said" and "told" ?
