This is another nice and excellently explained lesson! We received very exact presentation of the situations when only one of the 4 verbs should be chosen in a sentences during the conversations. /Speak, Say, Tell, or Talk /. These verbs are very often used in our everyday calls with friends and within family, as well in the official events and in work. That is why the proper choice among these several verbs is important for everyone. Thanks a lot, Teacher for superb and valuable video! 🙂😀
