III. Read the coach's advice and choose the correct words in the rules below. ‘He said (that) it's important to be a good listener.' ‘He told me that you need to be fair.' ‘He told me to do the right thing for the team.' a. He refers to the coach / Annie. b. Me refers to the coach / Annie. c. We use an object (me) with the verb say / tell. d. We don't use an object (me) with the verb say / tell. e. After tell / say we can use (not) to + infinitive.

a. coach

b. Annie

c. tell

d. say

e. tell

Explanation:

a. He refers to the coach, the one providing advice for Annie.

b. Me refers to Annie, the one recalling the coach´s pieces of advice.

c. We use an object (me) with the verb tell because the action of telling has to be directed at someone. That´s not the case when we say something.

d. We don't use an object (me) with the verb say, because when someone says something is not necessarily directed at someone in particular.

e. After tell we can use (not) to + infinitive, a structure often used for commands, such as 'He told me to do the right thing'
