There`s any difference between: "I said that I`m great" and "I said I`m great"
That happends because in Portuguese we use a lot of "that". And so I think that could be wrong in English. Thanks

Answer

Hey man,

  There is no difference but in Portuguese and Spanish you cannot drop the word “that” but in English you can. In Portuguese grammar I believe you have to use the word “that”or “que” to make the sentence sound correct. But in English you can say “He told me that he was hungry” or “He told me he was hungry”. To be honest most times people do not use the word “that” in many instances. Hope this helps.

Answer

no difference
look
he said that he was hungry.= he said he was hungry.(they're the same)
