Two paranoid office workers are arguing. Select ALL the grammatically correct phrases to complete the classic "I was right!" moment.
"I warned you that the new coffee machine was sentient and plotting against us. I _____!"
The correct answers are told you so, said so, and did say so.
When using "so" to substitute for a reported clause, the verbs say and tell follow their usual grammar rules:
- Tell requires an indirect object before "so" (I told you so). "I told so" is incorrect.
- Say does not take an indirect object in this way (I said so or the emphatic I did say so). "I said you so" is incorrect.
