Hi teachers,

I'm often confused about how to use those four words.
I can't tell the difference between:
say sth, tell sb sth, talk about sth or speak about sth, etc.

Could you enlighten me about it?

Thanks in advance

Why don't you give us examples of specific things that have confused you, so that we can focus our help better.
