SAY / TELL

Although both verbs mean the same in Spanish, is a very important difference
SAY to highlight what they say.
TELL to emphasize who is told something.
Say
"Say" is used in direct and indirect style. If we use "say" with a personal object, we need to use the
preposition "to".
Example:
Play
Style direct
"I'm hungry," he said. ("Tengo hambre," él dijo.)
Style indirect
Play
He said he was hungry. (Él dijo que tenía hambre.)
TELL
You can also use "tell" the direct and indirect style, though using the direct style is not so common. When
we use "tell" you need to use an indirect object that follows the verb.
Example:
Style direct
Play
He told me, "I'm hungry." (Me dijo, "Tengo hambre.")
Style indirect
Play
Mike told me that he was hungry. (Mike dijo que tenía hambre.)
