tell sth. to sb. 和tell sb. about sth的区别

Question

例如：Please tell him about the story.
Please tell him the story.

Answer 1

tell sth. to sb. 和tell sb. about sth
前者是双宾语结构：tell sb.sth. 其中把直接宾语sth.提前就要加介词，变成tell sth, to sb.意思是“告诉某人某事”或“吧某事告诉某人”；

后者是“告诉某人关于某事”意思根本不同。
比如：：
tell ua a story= Tell a story to us.给我们讲个故事。

Tell us about your story. Tell us something about yourself.
告诉我们关于你的故事。告诉我们关于你自己的故事追答

tell us a story.打错字了
