Question

My aunt is very good at (saying,telling) bedtime stories.как правильней писать.

Answer 1

Telling....................................................

Answer 2

Both "saying" and "telling" can be used in this sentence, but they slightly change the meaning:

1. "My aunt is very good at saying bedtime stories."

   • This suggests that your aunt is skilled at the act of vocalizing or narrating bedtime stories, which may involve improvisation or using her imagination to create stories on the spot.

2. "My aunt is very good at telling bedtime stories."

   • This implies that your aunt is skilled at recounting or narrating pre-existing stories or tales to entertain you at bedtime.

Both sentences are grammatically correct, but the choice between "saying" and "telling" depends on whether your aunt creates original stories or simply narrates existing ones.
