Chalkashtiriladigan soʻzlar (say/tell, borrow/lend)

Ba'zi inglizcha so'zlar o'zbek tilida bitta so'z bilan ifodalanadi, shuning uchun biz ularni adashtiramiz. Quyidagi juftliklar o'zbek o'quvchilar uchun eng ko'p xato manbai.

Say va tell

• say — aytmoq (so'zni): She said, "Hello." Say dan keyin shaxs to'g'ridan-to'g'ri kelmaydi: He said (to me) that he was busy.
• tell — aytmoq (kimgadir): He told me that he was busy. Tell a story, tell the truth, tell a lie.

He said me → He told me. She told that ... → She said that ...

• speak — til bilan gapirmoq: I speak English. Can I speak to the manager?
• talk — suhbatlashmoq: We talked for an hour. She is talking on the phone.
