0:07	Hi. I'm Anne, and I speak American English.
0:13	I am a student, and I like to read and learn about languages.
0:20	Today, we will learn about the verbs say and tell.
0:26	Now, I will tell you a story about my camping trip with classmates.
0:34	Try to notice the difference between say and tell.
0:44	When we first arrived at the campsite,
0:48	my classmates said that it was a beautiful day.
0:54	Then, we walked in the woods for a long time.
0:58	We all said that we were tired.
1:04	At night, we looked at the stars,
1:07	and my friend said something interesting about space to me.
1:15	At the campfire, one friend told a scary story.
1:24	and my other friend told us a joke.
1:31	It was a fun camping trip.
1:37	So how exactly do we use these verbs?
1:41	Let's begin with say.
1:44	Here are two ways that we use say.
1:48	First, we can say something to someone.
1:53	We use exactly the word something.
1:57	and we can use the word something on its own
2:00	or with an adjective.
2:03	For example, the teacher said something interesting to us.
2:13	Second, we can use say before a clause beginning with that.
2:19	For example, I said that it rained.
2:26	Here's how we use tell.
2:30	First, we can tell someone something.
2:34	For example, I told him the answer.
2:40	We can also use tell before some nouns, like
2:44	a lie, a story, the truth, or a joke.
2:50	We cannot usually use say before these nouns.
2:54	For example, I told a story about my vacation.
3:03	So, here is one important difference between say and tell.
3:09	We can say something to someone, but
3:12	we can tell someone something.
3:16	For example,
3:18	He said something funny to me.
3:21	but, he told me something funny.
3:30	Now, it's your turn to use these verbs.
3:34	Click pause,
3:35	and fill in the blanks with a form of say or tell.
3:54	Question of the week! What stories can you tell us?
4:02	Next time, we will learn about hear and listen.
4:07	This is American English. Thank you for watching.
