when we have to use ''told'' and ''said'' in reported speech ......

any difference in them????????

TOLD is used in case of commanding speeches while in other cases mostly SAID is used. SAID also used in case of uncertainities but TOLD is used in case certainities. However, in cases where a question has been posed to the other person, 'asked' is used.

hope it helps....
