Say, Tell, Speak ou Talk? Entenda quando usar cada um

Esses quatro verbos confundem MUITO — mas existe uma lógica simples:

🗣 SAY → foco no que é dito

• He said “hello”
• She said something interesting

👤 TELL → contar algo para alguém

• I told you the truth
• She told me a story

👉 sempre tem alguém recebendo

💬 TALK → conversa informal

• We talked for hours
• I need to talk to you

🧠 SPEAK → mais formal / idiomas

• I speak English
• Can I speak with you?

❌ Erros comuns:

• ❌ Say me the truth
• ✔ Tell me the truth

💡 Dica prática:

• Tell → tem pessoa
• Say → foco na frase
• Talk → conversa
• Speak → idioma ou formal

🎯 Exemplos:

• She told me everything
• He said he was tired
• We talked yesterday
• I speak Spanish
