Get It Right!: say
Unlike the verb tell, the verb say is never used with a personal object. If you want to refer to a personal object after say, use the preposition to:
✗ Perhaps people misunderstand what I want to say them in English.

✗ He wanted to be examined by a civilian doctor after an army doctor had said him that it was serious.
✓ He wanted to be examined by a civilian doctor after an army doctor had said to him that it was serious.
The object of the verb say is usually direct speech or a that-clause which reports what someone has said:
‘That's not true!' she said, but her voice betrayed her.
Climate experts say that by 2100 rainfall levels in some areas may rise to five times what they are today.
Don't use tell in structures like this:

✓ He said that the Japanese representatives tend to be less confident about speaking English.
