Can we say “the school will take the students to...?”

English Language & Usage Asked by Bosch on June 18, 2021

“The school will take the students to the zoo.”

Is it correct to say this or is it a bit weird? This is comprehensible, but a school cannot physically take someone from a place to another. Is it more appropriate to say “The teachers will take the students to the zoo”?

Thanks.

One Answer

It is possible to say “The school will take the students to the zoo.” The meaning is clear.

Examples to that: "the White House will send greetings...", "Moscow will introduce...", etc.

There is no question to that, and “The teachers will take the students to the zoo.” doesn't make it any better.

So, you can choose whichever you want.
