I believe the answer is:

orders

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'sends' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'instructions' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orders that I've seen before include "Sends away for" , "Commands these priests and nuns?" , "Dictates, decrees" , "the clergy take" , "Demands" .)
