word usage - Say to Somebody about Something vs Tell Somebody about Something
I know the difference in usage between say and tell. And yet, I wonder if the following sentences, some of which seem to concern ditransitive usage, would be correct or acceptable.
- I said to the police about what happened.
- I said to the police what happened.
- I told the police about what happened.
- I told the police what happened.
- I said to the police about it.
- I said it to the police.
- I told the police about it.
- I told it to the police.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
