"Said" is used in the past tense, and "says" is used in the present/persent perfect tense. Examples:
"I was talking to Sally yesterday, and she said that mac and cheese is quick and easy."
"President Clinton said, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman.'"
"Shelly always says that dogs make better pets than cats do."
"Mom says that you're her favorite."
Good luck!

"Said" is used for past tense when referring to something already spoken, while "says" is used for present tense when reporting something being said in real-time. For example, you would write "She said she was going to the store" when recounting a past conversation and "She says she is going to the store" when reporting what someone is currently saying.
