Just trying

tell needs an object pronoun and "say" doesn't need an object pronoun, but if you want to add, you have to put first "to".

Examples

I told you not to go
I said something to you.

"say" and "tell" mean to speak words, but "tell" also means to give some information.

Tell me your name
Tell me how can I help you.

For do / Make - Follow this link :

Miss / Lose

Miss : Something you could have got but missed. I missed the moring train.

Lost : Something you already have and aftersometime you lost that. : I lost this opportunity.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
