How do you tweet someone on twitter?

I have been trying to tweet someone on twitter, but they never reply. I think I might be doing it wrong somehow. Can someone please tell me how to tweet? Thanks.

If you are mutual followers, you can send them a direct message. Otherwise you need to send them an (@-reply), as other people are saying, you need to write @ and their username at the beginning of the tweet. If you have a private twitter account they can’t see it unless they’re following you… and if they’re not following you it’s always less likely that they’ll see an @-reply for a while because they have to consciously check their @-replies, unless they have an outside program that has them show up in the same place as their feed.
