Hi ! * to tell = is to ' say or write something to someone.' * to say = is to "use your voice to express something in words."

Oi, Renata Há dois sites para quem aprende inglês que são excelentes. Um é o Inglês na Ponta da Língua, e o outro é o Tecla SAP. Ambos são sites brasileiros que discutem as dificuldades de se aprender Inglês do ponto de visto do falante do Português Brasileiro. Nos dois sites você pode encontrar explicações bem diretas e instrutivas sobre a diferença entre TELL and SAY. Enjoy! https://www.inglesnapontadalingua.com.br/2009/04/qual-diferenca-entre-say-e-tell.html http://www.teclasap.com.br/say-e-tell-qual-e-a-diferenca/

"To tell" is frequently used in conversation. In general: "To say" is simply a verbal statement or question. "To tell" is a verbal statement to a person or people ("Tell" essentially means "say to") Examples: "Tell me what time the party starts ("say to me" what time the party starts). "She said the truck is red" "She told me the truck is red" (She "said to" me the truck is red). "She told the class there is an exam on Monday" (She "said to" the class. . .) "He said the store is closed" (No direct person or persons?) This is general, there are exceptions: "It is important to tell the truth" ("to other people" is assumed). "He told a lie" ("to someone" is assumed)

Tell + direct object Tell me the time please! Say + no direct object She says she needs to leave now.

Tell is mostly used in writing.On the other hand,say is used when you are using your voice to express some thing in words.
