What's the difference between て form for verbs: 'go' and 'says'


If いきます means 'to go' and いいます means 'to say or call', then how do these verbs
convert into て form?

Aren't they the same since they both end in 〜ち、〜り、〜い ＋ ます?

Is this correct? How do you change it?

> 行きます → 行って → to go
>
> いいます → いって → to say/to call




て can do a great many things but is usually not meant to be used just like
that. Unless you give an order.

> 言います －＞ say  
>  言っています －＞ saying  
>  言ってみて －＞ try to say it  
>  言って！ －＞ Say it!

Also, maybe I didn't understand your question well and you were wondering how
to differentiate them since they both become 「いって」. To which I would just say
to you that in any language it's only natural to have many words written the
same way but with different meanings. All you can do is guess with the
context.
