Question sentence Business English
|
Hello everybody,
A student of mine used the following sentence yesterday:
"Could you send us a representative of your company next week?"
I �m not sure if it is possible to use "send" for a person and in the context, that one company wants to learn more about another company and asks for a meeting with a (sales) representative.
A clarification would be greatly appreciated. :-)
Thanks!
Mietz

I �m sure you can use "send" with objects as well as with people - even in a business context. :))

People get "sent � to places all of the time. My boss sent me to the store or the warehouse.

Send and borrow
A fellow teacher came into my class and asked if she could �borrow � student. One of my students imediately asked if �borrowing � a human was possible.
Yes it is, as is �sending � a person.
Many schoolchildren are �sent to the principal � each day.....and not for fun.
Criminals are �sent � to jail!
Cheers Joy |
