Verified by Toppr

A word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence is a Verb. The first half of the sentence is in present form, where the person is asked not to do something in future, the answer here would be "tell". The second half of the sentence, is going to be in past form as it has already happened, the answer is going to be "said".
"say" is the present form
"told";is the past form
