Reported speech is the exact meaning of what someone said, but not the exact words. We do not use quotation marks in reported speech. We can either use the word that after the introductory verb or we can omit it. Artyom said (that) he had got good marks the year before.
Tell is always used with a personal pronoun, but say may be used with or without a personal pronoun.
Say is always followed by to when it is used with an object pronoun. In reported speech, say is not followed by an object pronoun, but it can be followed by that.
