Frequently Asked Questions
Does 'envió' mean the sending is still happening?
No. *Envió* is the completed past tense (preterite). It means the action of sending started and finished at a definite time in the past (e.g., 'He sent it yesterday').
Is 'enviar' an irregular verb?
In most tenses, 'enviar' follows regular -AR patterns, but it requires a written accent mark over the 'i' in the present tense (e.g., *yo envío*). The specific past tense form *envió* is perfectly regular for the preterite tense, but the accent on the *ó* is standard for all regular -AR preterites in the third person.
