When you send something, it means you make it go from one place to another. This could be a letter you put in the mail, or a package you give to a delivery person. You can also send messages, like an email to a friend or a text to your family. The main idea is that you are making something move from you to someone or somewhere else.
At the B2 level, "send" implies initiating the movement or transmission of something from a source to a destination. This can encompass a broad range of items, from tangible objects like parcels and documents to intangible information such as messages, emails, or data. The key aspect is the active role of the sender in dispatching the item, often with the expectation of its receipt by another party.
At the C1 CEFR level, the verb “send” implies a nuanced understanding of conveyance beyond simple transmission. It encompasses the initiation of a process where something, be it tangible or intangible, is directed towards a recipient or destination. This often involves considerations of the medium, the intended impact, and the potential for a return or response. Therefore, “send” in this context reflects a sophisticated grasp of communication dynamics and logistical orchestration.
§ Definition
- Verb
- To cause something to be taken or transmitted to another place, person, or organization. It can refer to physical objects like letters and packages, or digital things like emails and text messages.
§ Where you hear this word
The word "send" is incredibly common in everyday English, and you'll encounter it frequently in various contexts. Because its meaning is fundamental to communication and movement, it appears in many different settings, from casual conversations to formal documents.
§ At Work
In a professional environment, "send" is a word you'll use and hear constantly. Whether you're in an office, a shop, a factory, or any other workplace, the act of transmitting information or items is a daily occurrence.
- Emails: This is perhaps the most common use of "send" in the modern workplace. Colleagues send emails to each other, to clients, and to suppliers.
Please send me the report by the end of the day.
- Documents and Files: You might send a proposal to a potential client, a contract to a legal team, or a presentation to your manager. This can be done digitally or sometimes physically.
- Packages and Deliveries: If your work involves products, you'll often talk about sending packages to customers or receiving sent items from suppliers.
We need to send out all the orders before noon.
§ At School
In an educational setting, "send" is also a key word, whether you're a student, a teacher, or involved in administration.
- Assignments and Homework: Students often send their completed assignments to their teachers, especially with online learning platforms.
Did you send in your essay yet?
- Notices and Information: Schools might send out newsletters to parents, or teachers might send reminders to students about upcoming tests.
- Applications: When applying for colleges or universities, students will send in their applications and supporting documents.
§ In the News
News reports frequently use "send" to describe actions involving communication, diplomatic efforts, or military movements. It's a versatile word for conveying information about events happening globally.
- Reports and Statements: Governments or organizations might send official statements or reports to the media.
The spokesperson will send an update later this afternoon.
- Aid and Assistance: When disasters strike, news reports often mention countries or charities sending aid, supplies, or medical teams to affected areas.
- Diplomacy and Military: News might cover diplomatic delegations being sent to another country, or troops being sent on a mission.
The nation plans to send more humanitarian aid.
§ Common Mistakes with 'Send'
The verb 'send' seems straightforward, but learners at all levels, especially A1, often make subtle mistakes that can lead to miscommunication. Understanding these common pitfalls and how to avoid them is key to mastering its usage.
§ 1. Incorrect Preposition Usage
One of the most frequent errors involves using the wrong preposition after 'send'. 'Send' typically uses 'to' when indicating the recipient or destination.
- DEFINITION
- Using 'for' or 'at' instead of 'to' after 'send' when specifying the recipient.
Incorrect: I will send the email for him.
Correct: I will send the email to him.
Similarly, when referring to a place, 'to' is the correct preposition.
Incorrect: Please send the package at my office.
Correct: Please send the package to my office.
§ 2. Omitting the Object Being Sent
Sometimes learners forget that 'send' is a transitive verb, meaning it needs a direct object – something being sent. Simply saying 'I will send' without specifying what is incomplete.
- DEFINITION
- Using 'send' without clearly stating what is being transmitted.
Incorrect: Can you send to me?
Correct: Can you send the document to me?
§ 3. Confusion with 'Bring' or 'Take'
'Send' implies moving something from one place to another, often indirectly (e.g., via post, email). It can be confused with 'bring' (move something to the speaker's location) or 'take' (move something from the speaker's location to another).
- DEFINITION
- Using 'send' when 'bring' or 'take' would be more appropriate for direct physical movement.
Incorrect: Please send your book to my desk now.
Correct: Please bring your book to my desk now.
§ 4. Using 'Send' for Receiving
A more basic error for A1 learners is confusing the action of sending with the action of receiving.
- DEFINITION
- Incorrectly using 'send' to mean 'receive'.
Incorrect: I sent a letter from my friend yesterday.
Correct: I received a letter from my friend yesterday.
§ 5. Overlooking Direct vs. Indirect Object Order
When 'send' has both a direct object (what is sent) and an indirect object (to whom it is sent), the order can be tricky.
- When the indirect object (person/organization) comes after the direct object (thing), you need 'to'.
- When the indirect object comes directly after 'send', 'to' is not needed.
Correct: I will send you the report.
Correct: I will send the report to you.
By being mindful of these common mistakes, A1 learners can use 'send' more accurately and effectively in their English communication.

As a novelist, write a paragraph describing a character's internal struggle with the decision to 'send' a deeply personal and potentially damaging confession to someone, exploring the psychological toll and the possible ramifications of this act.
Well written! Good try! Check the sample answer below.
Sample answer
The cursor blinked mockingly, a tiny, relentless pulse mirroring the frantic beat in his chest. To send it, that single, damning email, felt akin to tearing open a vein, each word a drop of venom spilled onto a pristine surface. He had re-read the confession countless times, dissecting every phrase, every nuanced admission, the potential fallout a kaleidoscopic projection in his mind's eye. Would it be met with incandescent rage, or a chilling, indifferent silence? The psychological toll of this impending transmission was immense, a heavy shroud smothering his already frayed nerves. Yet, a perverse part of him yearned for the catharsis, the violent rupture that would inevitably follow the act of finally sending this truth out into the world.
According to the passage, what is the primary challenge in 'sending' clandestine messages in espionage?
Read this passage:
In the annals of espionage, the clandestine act of 'sending' encrypted messages through seemingly innocuous channels has long been a cornerstone of intelligence operations. These transmissions, often disguised as mundane communications, carry profound geopolitical weight, capable of altering the course of history with a single, well-placed directive. The art lies not just in the secure delivery, but in the subtle crafting of a message that, once sent, can be fully understood only by the intended recipient, leaving no discernible trace for adversaries.

What is the key advantage of quantum communication in 'sending' information, as described in the passage?
Read this passage:
The burgeoning field of quantum communication promises a revolution in how we 'send' information, offering theoretically unhackable networks. By leveraging the principles of quantum entanglement, data can be transmitted in a state that, if intercepted, would instantaneously alter, thus alerting both sender and receiver to the breach. This paradigm shift in data transmission portends an era where the concept of a 'secure send' will achieve unprecedented levels of robustness, fundamentally reshaping cybersecurity protocols globally.
