The words “say” and “tell” both refer to the context of reported speech. “Say” mainly revolves around the words someone said whereas “tell” focuses on what someone already said. For example, “Peter said, ‘I am not going to school today.’”, or “They asked me if I was looking for a house to rent and I said yes.” On the other hand, the word tell is used in sentences such as, “He told me how he got this house for rent.”
