Actually they are pretty interchangeable.
A scream is usually longer and shriller than the other two though.
A yell can also be something like a team chant |

According to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary:
People shout when they are angry or want to get somebody �s attention: He always seems to be shouting at the kids these days. I can hear you - there �s no need to shout. Yell can also be used, especially in spoken English. When people scream they make a very loud, high noise because they are in great pain or are very frightened or excited: There was broken glass everywhere and people were screaming.
HTH! Good luck!

Yell is an angry tone of talking
scream is more aggressive than that of yelling
shout is usually done to another person |
