Hi!

l think you mixed the endings a little bit wink look at this fulll list of all the conjugations for decir.

She tells me would be: (ella) me dice.

Drum, here is a link to the conjugation page for the verb "decir". "She tells" is third person, present, indicative.

decir

I think told is dice, but what about she tells? What about telling?

"told" can have any one of six forms (depending on the person and number [I, you {sing.}, he, we, you {plu.}, they told]). This is standard for all verbs (in all Romance languages).

"telling" - Do you mean as used in some progressive tense (e.g. "he is/was/had been telling ... ) or when used as a noun (e.g. "Telling him that is a waste of time.") or as an adjective (e.g. "That is a most telling example.")? These are all grammatically different in English (as in Spanish)
