Is it interaction or information?


Listen Later

(English grammar: Say or Tell)

The topic of this episode came up during a recent lesson I had. This is one of the points of English grammar that confuses people: should I use "say" or "tell"? The question really is "Is it interaction or information?". You might ask: Is there really a difference? Can it cause misunderstanding?
I have another question for you: Do you want to risk a misunderstanding? No?
Ok, do you have under 10 minutes? Then come with me:

1. Listen to this episode. Listen and try to relax.

2. Listen again, and try to answer the questions out loud. (I can emphasize out loud enough!)

3. Follow me on social media to get reminders for at least one more practice during the week. This time, try to give new answers.
