Hello, everybody!
I'm little bit confused too.
I thought i understand different between all this verbs very well.
Now i cant got it what it wrong if i use "speaking" and not "saying". I mean he can speak to sb and i can hear it and ask the other person why might hear too.
Or i think generally wrong and i may not use verb "speaking" whit out telling to whom should be speaking?
many thanks for answer and i hope, there are some people why would understood my English

Hi Hassi,

'Speak' usually involves using speech or a language whereas 'say' could be a statement or simply a word.

Two sentences:

I am sorry to interrupt you while you are speaking (in the middle of a conversation).

I didn't hear what she was saying (she was making a statement/giving some information).

Alan
