Which is wrong?

Question

1. Please say me the difference.

2. Please tell me the difference.

If both are right, tell the difference. If either is wrong say the reason.

Answer 1

the correct sentence is:please tell me the difference.
if you want to use 'say' in this sentence,then it should be structured like this:please say to me the difference.
usually.say is followed by 'to'.eg:he said to me ."...blah..blah..blah..."
hope this helps.

Answer 2

1. Wrong

2. Right

Although in some languages one verb does the job of both "say'' and "tell," in English "say" is ususally used in relation to an entire statement, so that one could grammatically say, "Please say what the difference is." Furthermore, "say" doesn't usually take an indirect object (which "me" is in your two sentences). "Tell," on the other hand, is usually used in the sense of "narrate" and CAN take an indirect object.

To complicate matters a little, one says a word but tells a lie.

Answer 3

i think they're both wrong. the right way would be to say "Please show me the difference." because a difference isn't something that can be told. i can't really explain it. like, you can tell a story, a lie, a truth, but you can't tell someone a difference. does that help at all?

Answer 4

1st one is wrong because if you take the sentence apart, you don't say me anything. You have to tell me something. The person is doing the telling, not the saying.

Answer 5

1-the verb is in the wrong person of speaking.

Answer 6

Please tell me the difference. The other is wrong because the grammar is incorrect.
