In Japanese you say 駅に送っていきます. 送る can often be translated as send as in I'll send you a letter. However, you have to be careful when you say　人を送る.

• I need some bread. I'll send my husband to the supermarket to get some.
  In this case, the wife is not going to go to the supermarket with her husband. She is going to ask him to go there. This is the essential meaning of send someone somewhere. It means to ask or order a person to go somewhere.

• I'll take you to the station.
  In this case the speaker is going to go to the station with the other person. This is the essential meaning of take someone somewhere. We go there with them and lead or guide them.

To summarise:
When we send someone to a place, we ask them to go there but we don't go with them.
When we take someone to a place, we go there with them.

When expressions containing numbers are used before a noun, the plural "-s" disappears. Some other examples:

• The journey takes three hours / It's a three-hour journey.
• The course lasts four weeks / It's a four-week course.
• This bag of rice weighs three kilos / It's a three-kilo bag of rice.
• This book has three hundred pages / It's a three-hundred-page book.

These are questions of collocation, we don't usually study homework, we do homework; we don't usually drink medicine, we take medicine.

The process of saying goodnight to your family, changing into your pajamas and getting into bed is known as going to bed. Sleep refers to the state of not being awake:

• I went to bed and slept for three hours.
• I went to bed early and tried to sleep, but I couldn't.

Notice also the expression, fall asleep:
• One of the students fell asleep during the professor's lecture.
• I often fall asleep while I'm watching television.

We tend to say have breakfast, have lunch, have dinner but have a meal. We don't usually put a between have and lunch unless we also use an adjective.
Some examples:

• I had breakfast at 7 o'clock / I had a big breakfast this morning.
• I had lunch early today / I had a very nice lunch today.

This is one of those little mistakes I hear very often in Japan. If you are surprised that somebody knows something, the question to ask is, "How do you know that?" not "Why do you know that?"

There are various ways of translating the Japanese verb, 刺す. These include sting, bite, stab, prick. The differences between them are:

STING - STANG - STUNG:
Creatures that can sting you include: a bee, a wasp, a scorpion (サソリ), jellyfish (くらげ). The sting of these creatures is usually in the tail. Certain plants like nettles (イラクサ) and thistles (アザミ) can also sting.
(Note: antiseptic medicines can also sting if they are put on a cut. We usually translate this type of sting as 染みる).

BITE - BIT - BITTEN:
Biting is done with the teeth. You can be bitten by a dog, a snake, a monkey or by smaller creatures like a red ant, a mosquito, a flea (ノミ) or a bedbug (トコジラミ).

STAB - STABBED - STABBED:
Stabbing usually involves a weapon such as a knife or dagger: He was stabbed through the heart and died immediately.

PRICK - PRICKED - PRICKED
Pricking usually involves things like pins or needles. You probably know the story of Sleeping Beauty, who was pricked by a poisoned needle and slept for a hundred years. One important point to remember: nettles and thistles sting, but rose-thorns prick.
