Answer 2

I can help you with your English grammar questions.

The verbs say and tell have similar meanings, but they are used differently. Generally, we use say when we report someone's words without mentioning the person who is addressed, and we use tell when we mention the person who is addressed. For example:

- John said that he had been to the cinema at the weekend. (We don't know who John spoke to.) - John told me that he had been to the cinema at the weekend. (We know that John spoke to me.)

There are some exceptions to this rule, such as say hello, say goodbye, say sorry, etc. You can read more about the difference between say and tell [here](https://www.blueletterbible.org/comm/guzik_david/study-guide/2-john/2-john-1.cfm).

Based on this rule, the correct answers to your sentences are:

1. John said that he had been to the cinema at the weekend. 2. She told them she wanted to quit. 3. David said that he was going to arrive at eight. 4. They told us that they didn't want to meet us on Tuesday. 5. I told him I wasn't impressed. 6. Lucy told Julie that she was leaving on Wednesday. 7. We said that we were going on holiday the following week. 8. Jack told my mother he would be in Spain this week.
