Question

Choose the right words to complete the sentences. 1) Alec (tells/says) the railway

Answer 1

"Alec says the railway...", потому что tell - это рассказывать о чём-то, а say - это сказать что-то. Тут, очевидно, Алек хотел просто сказать какой-то факт о железной дороге.

Answer 2

Alec says the railway.

Explanation: In this context, "says" is the correct word to use. "Tells" is used when someone is giving information or instructions to someone else. However, in this sentence, Alec is simply stating a fact about the railway, so "says" is more appropriate.
