Vou te mandar um e-mail… = I’ll send you an e-mail…
Ela me mandou uma carta… = She sent me a letter…
Com este verbo – send – você pode dizer a mesma coisa de dois jeitos diferentes. Veja só,
“I’ll send you an e-mail” ou “I’ll send an e-mail to you”
“She sent me a letter” ou “She sent a letter to me”
Percebeu a diferença!? Espero que sim! Do contrário, volte e procure!
Agora se a sua idéia for a de mandar alguém fazer alguma coisa, aí o jeito é usar a estrutura “tell someone to do something“. Veja os exemplos:
Vou mandar a secretária cancelar a reunião.
I’ll tell the secretary to put off the meeting.
Ele mandou a empregada limpar o quarto.
He told the maid to clean his room.
Uma outra forma de dizer isto é dizer assim:
I’ll have the secretary to put off the meeting.
I’ll get the secretary to put off the meeting.
He had the maid to clean his room.
He got the maid to clean his room.
Mas caso você não mencione a pessoa, então use apenas – e somente – a seguinte construção:
I’ll have the meeting put off. > Vou mandar cancelar a reunião.
I had my car washed. > Mandei lavar o meu carro.
Veja todos os exemplos e perceba como as palavras são organizadas. Esta é a mesma construção que você usa para dizer que vai cortar o seu cabelo. Ou seja, diga o seguinte
I’ll have my hair cut.
I’ll get my hair cut.
Vou cortar o meu cabelo.
Se você falar “I’ll cut my hair“, todo mundo vai entender que você vai arrumar uma tesoura, sentar em frente a um espelho e mandar ver no corte! Imagine a bagunça que vai ser…
Para eu saber que você entendeu, traduza as três sentenças abaixo para o inglês:
01) Ele vai mandar alguma coisa para você.
02) Nós mandamos as crianças irem para a cama.
03) Eu mandei arrumar a minha televisão.
That’s it for today… Take care…

As traduções das três sentenças para o inglês são:01) He`ll tell something to you.02) We got children to the bed.03) I have my television fixed.Bye-bye
1- He'll have something to you.2- We got the children to the bed.3- I got to fix my television.Tks,See you!
Hi Denilso!He'll send something to you.We told the kids to go for the bed.I had my television repaired.See you!
Hi Denilson,you hold a great blog! However there is something I would like to bring up.The examples you mentioned the preposition "to" is not necessary as follows: I'll have the secretary to put off the meeting.I'll get the secretary to put off the meeting.He had the maid to clean his room.He got the maid to clean his room.For structures like that, the correct is supposed to be:I'll have the secretary put off the meeting.I'll get the secretary put off the meeting.He had the maid clean his room.He got the maid clean his room.I trust it helps.John McGregor
