have/has/had + said (past participle)

用法筆記

Frequently used with a that-clause (that is often dropped in conversation). As a past participle, it forms perfect tenses: has said, had said. The passive pattern it was said that… is common in formal writing. Distinguish from told, which requires an indirect object (told someone something vs. said something to someone).

常見錯誤

❌He said me that he was tired.
✅He told me that he was tired.
💡say does not take an indirect object without to; use told when naming the listener directly.
❌She said him goodbye.
✅She said goodbye to him.
💡when a listener is mentioned, use said + something + to + someone.
