用法筆記

Frequently used in both simple past (completed action) and past participle constructions (perfect tenses, passive voice). In simple past, no helping verb is needed ('I sent it'). In perfect or passive structures, pair with 'have' or 'be' ('She has sent it', 'It was sent'). The pattern 'sent someone something' (double object) is common in informal and formal contexts alike.

常見錯誤

❌I have sent it yesterday.
✅I sent it yesterday.
💡The present perfect 'have sent' cannot be used with a specific past time like 'yesterday'.
❌She sent me the package to me.
✅She sent me the package.' or 'She sent the package to me.
💡The double-object pattern and the 'to' pattern should not be combined.
