Hello everybody.
I am very confused about these two words said and told,could anyone explain to me the difference between them please. What about these sentences which one is right and why.
-I told you what I am going to do next Sunday.
-I said you what I am going to do next Sunday.
Thank you.
Admira

The sentences should be like this:

-I told you what I am going to do next Sunday.
-I said what I am going to do next Sunday.

After "say" we do not include the noun or pronoun of the person we said something to.
