Send you tomorrow

[Talab1234]

Hi,

Is this grammatically correct?

Person1: Can you send me the file?
Person2: I’ll send you tomorrow.

Is it grammatically correct to say “I’ll send you tomorrow” without the object pronoun (it)

Thanks

No. That means you're going to cause the person to go somewhere. You need the pronoun and a preposition.

No, it isn't.

I'll send it tomorrow.
I'll send it to you tomorrow.

I believe that here in the (United) States at least, it is acceptable to say "I'll send you it tomorrow."

I have two questions. Where is that region? Does anybody recommend that people learn that?

It's not unheard of in my region (central High Plains). I'm sure I've said it myself a few times.

You'll hear that in the UK too.

I never knew that this usage was considered so "controversial." Personally, I like the rhythm.

Here is an online discussion. Please google these words: Is saying "Let me show you it" totally wrong? Stack Exchange

1. As Skrej says, the region is the United States. And Ems says it's used in the UK, too.

2. I do.

Hello, TheParser.
I'd like to ask you a question.

Is "Give me it" acceptable to you?
(I know it's used in the U.K.)

Hi, Tzfujimino.

I had never given the matter much thought until I read your post. Let me make up a dialog(ue).


Teacher: Please give me your cellphone. I will keep it on my desk until the end of class.

Defiant student: No way! No one touches my cellphone!

Teacher: Please give it to me. You don't have to worry. I will return it as soon as the bell rings. OK?

Defiant student: No! And you can't make me!

Teacher (losing her patience): Give me it this minute or I'll call security!

Yes, it sounds fine to me, especially in a moment when brevity is the biggest consideration on one's mind.

Person1: Can you send me the file?
Person2: [strike]I’ll send you tomorrow.[/strike]

Another natural response for Person2, incidentally, which involves no duplication of words, is I'll do it tomorrow ("do it" = "send you the file").

 

[emsr2d2]

I'll try to round up the responses.

A: Can you send me the file?
B: I'll send it tomorrow.
B: I'll send it to you tomorrow.
B: I'll do it tomorrow.
B: I'll send you it tomorrow.

I'll add another option, on which there are lots of possible variations.
B: Of course. You'll get it tomorrow.
