Explanation

The core idea of ส่ง is making something move outward from a source toward another person, place, or result. That is why the same verb can be used for sending a message, shipping a parcel, submitting homework, dropping someone off, emitting a smell, or producing an effect. Common patterns include ส่ง A ให้ B “send A to B,” ส่ง A ไป + place “send A to a place,” and ไปส่ง + person + ที่ + place “drop someone off at a place.”

Usage

It is used across everyday and practical contexts: shipping and mail, email and chat, schoolwork, office documents, taking someone to school or the airport, seeing someone off, and explaining effects or consequences in news and business writing.

Caution

Be careful with gifts: ส่งของขวัญ often sounds like shipping or sending a gift, while giving someone a gift is usually ให้ของขวัญ. For people, adding the destination, as in ไปส่งเขาที่..., makes the meaning clearer than using ส่งเขา by itself.
