send daughter to get it?

[sky753]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know under this circumstance in everyday English which verb is most commonly used, tell, ask , send or another one?

You hammer has been lent your mother and hasn't been returned. And now you want to use it, but both you and your mother are engaged. So you call to tell your mother that you will send your son to get it. I probably will say:" don't worry mum, I will send dingding to get it."

Could you give your sentence here?

Thanks and Regards

As an NES but not a teacher, I would say that your suggestion works fine for me.

I would, however, suggest replacing "engaged" by "busy".

Thanks for your reply, but I would like to know if " I will send dinding to get it" is proper. Which word is best in everyday Engish under the circumstances, ask , tell or send or others?

R21 has told you it's fine.

'Ask' and 'tell' are also fine.

Whether his name is Dinding or Dingding, it must be capitalised
