wǒ xiǎng bǎ zhège bāoguǒ jì dào wǒ lǎojiā.

把 marks the object as something being handled, moved, changed, or dealt with in some way.

So:

我想把这个包裹寄到我老家。

follows this pattern:

Subject + 想 + 把 + object + verb + destination/result

It highlights what is being done to the parcel: the parcel is being sent.

English does not have a direct equivalent, so learners often find 把 strange at first. A natural way to think of it is:

As for this parcel, I want to send it to my hometown.

Also, the object after 把 is usually something specific and known. 这个包裹 is specific, so it fits very well.

Yes. You can say:

我想寄这个包裹到我老家。

This is also grammatical and natural.

The version with 把 puts a little more focus on the handling of this particular parcel. The version without 把 is a more basic verb + object sentence.

So both work:

• 我想寄这个包裹到我老家。
• 我想把这个包裹寄到我老家。

For a learner, it is often easiest to learn the version without 把 first, and then get used to how 把 changes the sentence structure.

Because 想 is a modal verb here, meaning would like to or want to. In Chinese, modal verbs normally come before the main action pattern.

So the order is:

我 + 想 + 把这个包裹寄到我老家

not:

我把这个包裹想寄到我老家

That would sound wrong.

A helpful pattern is:

Subject + modal verb + 把-phrase + main verb

For example:

• 我想把它打开。 — I want to open it.
• 我可以把车停这儿吗？ — Can I park the car here?

Because Chinese usually needs a measure word / classifier between a demonstrative and a noun.

So the normal pattern is:

这 / 那 + measure word + noun

Here:

• 这 = this
• 个 = general classifier
• 包裹 = parcel/package

So:

这个包裹 = this parcel

In standard Mandarin, 这包裹 would normally sound incomplete or nonstandard.

个 is the most common general classifier in Mandarin, and it is often used with many everyday nouns, especially in spoken Chinese.

So:

这个包裹 is a very normal way to say this parcel.

Sometimes learners worry about whether every noun has a special classifier. Many do, but in daily conversation, 个 is extremely common and often the safest choice when it is acceptable.

包裹 means parcel, package, or postal package. It is especially appropriate when talking about something being mailed or shipped.

包 is more general and can mean things like:

• bag
• bundle
• package
• wrapped item

So in a mailing context, 包裹 is more precise than 包.

If you are at a post office or talking about delivery, 包裹 sounds very natural.

Here, 到 introduces the destination:

寄到我老家 = send to my hometown

So:

• 寄 = send/mail
• 到 = to, arriving at a place

This tells us where the parcel is being sent.

Compare:

• 寄到我老家 — send it to my hometown
• 寄给我妈妈 — send it to my mother

So 到 is used for a place/destination, while 给 is used for a person/recipient.

Normally, no. 老家 is a place, not a person, so 给 does not fit well here.

You use:

• 寄到 + place
• 寄给 + person

So these are natural:

• 寄到我老家 — send it to my hometown
• 寄给我爸妈 — send it to my parents

If you want to mention both the place and the person, you could say something like:

我想把这个包裹寄到我老家给我爸妈。

That means you want to send the parcel to your hometown for your parents.

老家 usually means one’s hometown, native place, or family home area. It does not necessarily mean the house where you currently live.

It often refers to:

• where you grew up
• where your family comes from
• your ancestral/home region

So 我老家 is often best understood as my hometown or my home place.

It has a personal, familiar feeling and is very common in spoken Chinese.

In Chinese, 的 is often omitted with close personal relationships or familiar, closely connected nouns.

So 我老家 is very natural and common.

Compare:

• 我妈妈 — my mother
• 我朋友 — my friend
• 我老家 — my hometown

You can say 我的老家, but it sounds more explicit and can feel more formal, emphatic, or literary depending on context.

In everyday speech, 我老家 is the usual choice.

The sentence structure is:

我 / 想 / 把 / 这个包裹 / 寄 / 到 / 我老家

A good breakdown is:

• 我 — subject
• 想 — want to / would like to
• 把这个包裹 — marks the object being dealt with
• 寄 — send/mail
• 到我老家 — to my hometown

So the full pattern is:

Subject + modal + 把 + object + verb + 到 + place

This word order can feel unusual to English speakers because English usually keeps the object after the verb:

I want to send this parcel to my hometown.

But in Chinese with 把, the object moves before the main verb.

Yes, it is natural.

It sounds like something someone might say at:

• a post office
• a delivery counter
• a logistics company
• a conversation about mailing something home

A very natural alternative is:

我想把这个包裹寄回老家。

Here, 寄回老家 means send back to my hometown/home place, which can sound even more natural if the speaker is currently away from home.

So the original sentence is correct and natural, but depending on context, 寄回老家 may also be very common.
