Hi there! I work in admissions and I have a student who has emailed me several times about documents he has "sended" me. That word is never correct, right?? Thanks!
LMAO.
“Sended" is the past tense of "scend" (also spelled "send”), which means “to move upward on a wave.”
If that student put his email on a surfboard and delivered it to you via tidal wave, he’s got a point. Otherwise, he screwed up.
The past tense of “send" (as in sending email) is “sent.”
I’m guessing that displaying poor grammar isn’t exactly the best way to impress admissions officers, right?
