How to study 送 in context

  1. Say sòng, then recall the core meaning: to see off, to send off, to dispatch.
  2. Write all 9 strokes while keeping the lower-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 发送 (fā sòng), meaning “to transmit”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 送 works in that context.

Definitions and traditional forms are compiled from Make Me a Hanzi, HSK curriculum data, and CC-CEDICT. Sourced example sentences link to Tatoeba; editorial examples are labeled separately. Review data sources and licenses.
