=========================
Are they all grammatical? Can we use 'talk about' or'tell' instead of 'recite'?
No. "Recite" means to quote exactly as written. To tell about would mean to tell what the quotations might mean. To tell might be to restate or interpret the quotations.
For your first question, yes, they are grammatically correct. :)
To tell the sentences might also mean to put them in your own words instead of reciting them exactly as written.
1. I am good at playing the piano.
2. I am good at the piano.
3. I am good at playing basketball.
4. I am good at basketball.

Thank you for your help. The next answer was uploaded by mistake.
To determine if these sentences are grammatically correct and if "talk about" or "tell" can be used instead of "recite," we can break down the statements and analyze them.
1. Memorize all the sentences on the page. Raise your hand if you want to recite all the sentences here.
This sentence is grammatically correct as it is. The word "recite" is appropriate in this context since it refers to the act of repeating or saying something from memory, usually in a formal or structured manner.
2. Memorize all the sentences on the page. Raise your hand if you want to talk about all the sentences here.
This sentence is also grammatically correct. In this case, "talk about" is used as an alternative to "recite." It implies having a discussion or conversation about the content of the sentences rather than reciting them word-for-word.
3. Memorize all the sentences on the page. Raise your hand if you want to tell all the sentences here.
This sentence is grammatically correct as well. However, the word "tell" might not convey the exact meaning you desire. "Tell" usually implies conveying information verbally, usually in a narrative or descriptive manner. It might be more suitable to use "repeat" or "recount" instead of "tell" if you want to emphasize a faithful rendition of the sentences.
In summary, all three sentences are grammatically correct, and you can use "recite," "talk about," or choose alternative verbs such as "repeat" or "recount" based on the desired meaning.
