"I have sent you an email" vs "I have send you an email"

When using the helping verb have, the correct form of the past tense of the verb to send is sent.

Expert Tip! If the action is complete, it is usually better to use the more direct form, I sent you an email.

Last Updated: March 19, 2017

This phrase is used for several reasons:

To indicate that something was sent at some non-specific point in the past.

To indicate the action is not fully completed

To confirm that an action was done.


ExpertExplanation provided by a TextRanch English expert

Preferred Form:
I have sent

I have send you an email

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

Verb Tense: Including the auxiliary verb have, tells us the action happened in the past, so the past tense of the main verb, sent, must be used.
