Reporting Verbs exercises online (Multiple Choice)

English has four main verbs for communication — say, tell, speak, and talk — but they are not interchangeable. 'Speak' is more formal and is used with languages (speak French) and in set phrases (speak to someone). 'Talk' is more informal and focuses on conversation (talk about, talk to). Practise choosing the right verb for each context.
