SPEAK OR TALK

1.In British English, we use the preposition to with the verbs speak and talk. American English prefers with, and this is becoming more common in British English, too.

e.g. Can I speak to you for a moment?

2. Talk suggests that two or more people are having a conversation. It is more common that speak.

e.g. We stayed up all night talking.

3. Speak suggests something serious or more formal.

e.g. I have a complaint. I'd like to speak to the manager.

Speak also suggests that one person talks more that others.

e.g. The doctor spoke to the audience about the danger of smoking.

4. Talk usually suggests the idea of a conversation. Speak can refer just to the use of words.

e.g. I've lost my voice. I can't speak.

We use speak when talking about languages.

e.g. How many languages can you speak?

Fill the gaps in the conversation with one of the following verbs in its correct form.

say tell explain speak talk reply ask
