To pay, equivalente inglese di pagare, viene impiegato in strutture grammaticali diverse: se si paga un conto, una somma di denaro o il costo di qualcosa, il verbo è seguito direttamente da tale riferimento ( pagare il conto = to pay the bill; pagare 100 euro = to pay 100 euros; pagare le proprie spese di viaggio = to pay one's travelling expenses); se il verbo è seguito dall'indicazione della persona che riceve il pagamento, la costruzione inglese prevede sempre un complemento oggetto ( pagare il tassista = to pay the taxi driver; pagare alla commessa = to pay the shop assistant); se il verbo to pay regge entrambe le strutture sopra citate, si può usare la costruzione col doppio oggetto ( pagare alla commessa 100 euro = to pay the shop assistant 100 euros; pagare il conto al cameriere = to pay the bill to the waiter); quando pagare è seguito dall'indicazione dell'oggetto acquistato o del beneficiario del pagamento, si traduce con to pay for ( ho pagato io il tuo biglietto = I paid for your ticket; lui ha pagato per noi = he paid for us); infine, si possono trovare riunite in un'unica frase le precedenti costruzioni ( ho pagato al tassista 35 euro per il viaggio dall'aeroporto all'ufficio = I paid the taxi driver 35 euros for the drive from the airport to my office). - Si noti che far pagare qualcosa a qualcuno si dice in inglese to charge somebody for something
