Grammar:

Tell + someone + about + something

Say + something

For example:

I told her about the subject she's going to take.

She told him to leave.

His father told him a very scary story.

The teacher is telling his students a joke.

Her boy friend told her a lie.

She's saying that her subjects this semester are very easy.

How can you say "hi" in Chinese?
