--explanation--

Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with prepositions or adverbs that create a new meaning. In this part of the dialogue, you see the difference between to send something and to send something over.

To send something means to make something go from one place or person to another, whereas to send something over adds the idea of delivery to a person or place, often informally or digitally. Take a look at one example of each:

  • I'll send the letter tomorrow. - A basic statement of transferring something.

  • Can you send over the file by email? - This emphasizes sending something to someone, usually over a short distance or digitally. The addition of over makes the phrase sound more natural in casual conversation.
